This document discusses the contributions of One Health to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and outlines some key One Health initiatives. It notes that One Health enhances human, animal, and ecosystem health through research, capacity building, networking, and evidence-based policy. One Health contributes directly to SDGs related to poverty, hunger, health, responsible consumption, and partnerships. It provides examples of how initiatives around food safety, zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and more support achieving targets within these goals. The document also promotes an upcoming report on investing in One Health through livestock pathways to further SDG progress.

2. OHRECA Objectives
To significantly enhance human, animal and ecosystem health by:
• Continuing research for development through One Health approach
• Strengthening capacity in One Health,
• Supporting One Health network initiatives, and,
• Developing pathways from evidence to policy and practice.

3. Contributions of One Health to SDG framework
 Ending poverty and other deprivations goes hand in
hand with improvements on health, education,
reduce inequities and boosts economic growth
 One Health contributes to:
o SDGs 1, 2, 3, 12, 17 (no poverty, zero hunger,
good health and well-being, responsible
consumption and production, partnerships)
o SDGs 5, 6, 10, 15 (gender equality, water and
sanitation, reduced inequality, life on land)

4. Linkages between SDG and One Health frameworks

Objective of the report:
• Show through facts, evidence and cases where
and how more and better investment will deliver
'one' health outcomes for animals, people,
ecosystems
• Value proposition: Highlight evidence-based
solutions from ILRI and research-development
angle with a focus on livestock.
One Health investment report briefs
• Briefs capture 7 key messages and more than 20
practical action areas governments, development
partners and experts in One Health can invest in
for better health and improved food systems.
