The roadmap provides a long term framework to strengthen animal health systems, improve food security, enhance disease surveillance, and support growth across Nigeria’s livestock sector.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health challenge affecting human, animal, and environmental health, and addressing it requires sustainable, context specific solutions.

Through the Sustainable Impact and AMR Project established by ICARS, OHDI and partners are working to develop practical tools that help AMR projects integrate sustainability from planning through implementation.

A recent workshop in Copenhagen brought together stakeholders to refine the Sustainable Impact Resource Guide and Practical Toolkit for real world AMR interventions across multiple countries.

We are thrilled to announce a major milestone for One Health and Development Initiative (OHDI) on the Africa Fish & Aquaculture Welfare - Afiwel implementation in Kenya.

Over the last few months, we have collaborated with the State Department for the Blue Economy and Fisheries (SDBEF), Kenya Fisheries Service (KeFS), and Kenya Marine Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) to implement a series of successful technical workshops and collaborative sessions to develop the *Draft National MSOP for Fish Welfare in Aquaculture*.

The MSOP for Fish Welfare in Aquaculture is now open for public participation and feedback.

OHDI at the FAO-CIRDAP Workshop on Sustainable Aquaculture Investments, Indonesia

National Aquaculture Investment Plans matter for Africa’s growth. Investment in aquaculture must be responsible, inclusive, and scalable to deliver lasting impact.

From 13 to 16 April, OHDI was represented at the Workshop on Sustainable Aquaculture Investment through National Aquaculture Investment Plans in Jakarta, bringing together African and Asian stakeholders to exchange insights on building sustainable aquaculture frameworks.

A key reflection for the Africa Fish & Aquaculture Welfare - Afiwel is the importance of a strong commercial mindset supported by systems that empower small scale producers through reliable water access, disease control, and capacity building. This can drive profitable production while maintaining environmental integrity and fish welfare.
