The ZoNoH project, “Putting One Health into Action: Preventing Zoonoses in Kenya by Fostering Collaboration in the Food System,” is a collaborative initiative between Wageningen University & Research and Transdisciplinary Consulting Limited. Running from July 2023 to April 2025, ZoNoH aims to strengthen the capacity of two Kenyan County One Health Units (COHUs) to better manage zoonotic diseases within their food systems. By fostering collaboration and building the operational capacity of these COHUs, the project seeks to prevent future pandemics by creating a more resilient and interconnected approach to health and food safety.

As a contracted partner, our organization supports the development and coordination of ZoNoH’s services in Kenya, particularly at the county level. Our responsibilities include facilitating on-the-ground field activities, and ensuring that local One Health Units are equipped with the necessary tools, training, and data to implement and manage effective zoonose prevention strategies. Through these efforts, the ZoNoH project aims to build a robust, proactive response framework within Kenya’s food systems, supporting both human and environmental health for long-term resilience.
