Female leadership and One Health
Women farmers represent a crucial target group for the implementation of One Health strategies. Their dual role in managing livestock alongside domestic responsibilities like food preparation puts them at high risk for food-and animal-borne diseases, but also positions them as potential catalysts for improving livestock health, household health and family nutrition. Globally, women receive only five percent of agricultural extension services. To realize their potential as agents of change, we need to boost this number. The FAO Virtual Learning Centre online training on Female Leadership and One Health has been designed especially for frontline human health and animal health professionals in West Africa.
