Summary One Health is a collaborative approach that addresses health challenges affecting humans, animals, and the environment. Zambia's reliance on agriculture and natural resources, coupled with poverty and limited healthcare infrastructure, makes it particularly vulnerable to health threats. One Health challenges in Zambia include malaria, cholera, HIV/AIDS, and zoonotic diseases, which have significant economic implications. However, policy formulation and strengthening is hampered due in part to the lack of integration of economics principles. This is mainly due to lack of data, methodological challenges, and institutional barriers. This pre-proposal project will lay the foundation for the development of a comprehensive project seeking to integrate economic principles into One Health governance in Zambia, by collecting key information of the local context, and what works in similar settings to address kye challenges in One Health strategies. The project will be led by the University of Oslo in collaboration with Zambian partners, including the University of Zambia, CIDRZ, PsycHealth Zambia, the Women's Life Wellness Foundation. The project activities include: 1 - a rapid review of the local context 2 - the project partners will conduct a stakeholder identification, to establish the key players who will be invited to a workshop to discuss the issues in One Health in Zambia. 3 - The project partners will draft a full project proposal based on information gathered in activities 1 and 2, to be submitted for funding in 2025. 4 - The learnings and output from the pre-project will be disseminated to key stakeholders through social media, targeted email lists, partner organizations.
