One health leadership and team building training.

Abstract

Abstract\n In this chapter, The authors presented five case studies on OH leadership and team building programmes and approaches and then compare them to determine what competencies they are emphasizing as critical in their cultural and operational context. Case studies were selected to represent OH leadership and team building programmes within country and regional contexts. The cases discussed include the: (i) Global Health True Leaders (GHTL) programme in Indonesia; (ii) International Master of Public Health OH-oriented programme at Hanoi Medical University (HMU) in Vietnam; (iii) Engaging Intergovernmental Organizations (EIO)program at the University of Minnesota in the USA; (iv) One Health Systems Mapping and Analysis Resource Toolkit (OH-SMARTTM), implemented in 18 countries; and (v) multidisciplinary OH field attachments/placement programmes implemented by the One Health Central and Eastern Africa (OHCEA)university network in eight countries. All of these programmes were supported, in part, by the USAID One Health Workforce (OHW) Project. In presenting and analysing these case studies, this chapter provides examples of five field-validated programmes involving OH leadership and what competencies they identified as critical to OH leadership in their context.
