Empowering Livestock Keepers: How and why VWB/VSF is combating Antimicrobial Resistance
VWB/VSF is actively working to mitigate the risks associated with AMR. Our primary focus is on training Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs).
Community One Health Empowerment Rwanda & Senegal (COHERS) is a strategically designed initiative that aims to address One Health Empowerment in Rwanda and Senegal. Facilitated by Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord, this program embodies a comprehensive approach to public health, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.
The program adopts an interdisciplinary approach to unify public health, veterinary sciences, and environmental policies under a single umbrella, offering a balanced focus on human, animal, and ecosystem well-being.
With operations extending across Rwanda and Senegal, COHERS serves as a cornerstone for region-specific solutions to global challenges, thereby contributing to international public health and sustainable development goals.
Through targeted educational programs, community-based interventions, and sustainable development projects, COHERS is committed to equipping local populations with the tools and knowledge necessary for long-term resilience and prosperity.
The Project Implementation Plan is dated September 15, 2023, indicating the program's timely relevance and commitment to current global health challenges.
