APCASO joins the CIRAD and PREZODE team at this year’s Global Health Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur.

At the PREZODE/CIRAD/APCASO/SCDI conference “From Awareness to Action: Strengthening One Health Surveillance
through Serious Games and Community Engagement” session yesterday, our Executive Director, RD Marte, presented APCASO-developed info-resources on and related to community-based surveillance as well as
country cases of community and civil society collaborations with government duty-bearers in pandemic risk mapping and surveillance. The tools and country examples were drawn for our Community Engagement in Pandemic Preparedness and Response (COPPER) programme experiences. RD also joined the team of facilitators that rolled out the CIRAD and PREZODE-developed ALERT game as part of the session, aimed to build participants’ capacity to design, implement, and
strengthen integrated One Health surveillance systems through participatory, game-based
learning.

The game and the whole session underscored the critical role of communities in disease surveillance and control, all as part of the One Health Approach.

At APCASO, we believe that strong community systems are the foundation of effective health policy. That includes One Health.

APCASO is joining PREZODE, CIRAD, RAME, ACT Africa, RANI, RANA, EANNASO and others in an international study examining how CSOs contribute to the development and implementation of One Health policies worldwide. The study builds on regional work carried out in Africa by CIRAD and RAME with support from L’Initiative.

The findings will feed into a technical report and policy brief to strengthen CSO engagement in One Health governance, with results to be presented at national and international meetings in 2026.

If you work with a CSO in Asia-Pacific, your experience is essential to ensuring this evidence reflects our region. Please take 20 minutes to complete the survey: https://lnkd.in/gYUcCMDY

Treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is complex, and can cause side effects throughout the body. Active drug safety monitoring and management (aDSM) and pharmacovigilance (PV)—tools that help identify, report, and manage side effects—are critical to supporting the implementation of newer regimens. Innovations in TB support tools like AI companions and expressive writing and photography initiatives are filling gaps in care, and can help identify treatment side effects.

TAG and KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation are excited to present an upcoming webinar: Using Digital Storytelling and AI for Active Drug Safety Monitoring in Tuberculosis Care on Tuesday, June 30, at 9 a.m. EST. This is the latest installment in the series of virtual trainings for community and civil society organizations hosted by TAG under the Unitaid-funded ASCENT DR-TB Project.

In this webinar, KNCV staff will present cutting-edge technologies and artistic techniques that help people with TB express lived experiences and seek support during treatment. Specifically, KNCV will discuss Aida, a WhatsApp-based digital companion, and PhotoLetters to TB, a creative media initiative, to explore how digital tools and storytelling can enable community participation in active TB drug safety monitoring and management.

14 January 2026 | SWING Foundation – Silom

SWING participated in the Midterm Evaluation (MTE) meeting of the REGENERATE Initiative, a critical moment to reflect on progress, share lessons learned, and strengthen regional collaboration. Implemented by APCASO with support from Expertise France and L’Initiative, the session was facilitated by Maria Leny Felix and Beautilyn F. Azbad, creating a meaningful space for dialogue grounded in real community experiences. This MTE was not only about measuring outcomes, but about collectively shaping more responsive and people-centered approaches moving forward.

We are committed to continuously improving inclusive, stigma-free services that respect dignity and strengthen agency for s*x workers, LGBTQ+ people, and key populations across the region.
