United States: Avian Influenza Action Plan at the Regional and Local Leve |
OH-SMART has been applied to Infectious and Zoonotic Disease Planning. Through piloting of the tool, OH-SMART was successful in supporting collaborative working between the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture and representatives from the in-country offices of USAID, The United Nations, The World Health Organization, and the US CDC. The OH-SMART tool offered insights into the response to the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Outbreak (HPAI). Using components of the tool, participants trained in OH-SMART techniques interviewed HPAI Incident Command System team members and mapped the outbreak response. Feedback from training workshops was that the OH-SMART process will be very useful for Indonesia, helping provinces identify ways to strengthen their cross-agency collaboration around zoonotic disease. |

This holistic approach facilitates the creation of systems-based maps of agency and stakeholder interactions around One Health challenges, providing information and awareness to host countries to analyze and strengthen interactions and, ultimately, create best practices and standardized operating procedures for One Health work within their network. |

OH-SMART for workforce planning has been used in Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia to identify critical markets and competencies for challenges arising at the human-animal-environmental interface. OH-SMART implementers typically used a 3-step process to ensure that (1) existing workforce needs were summarised across sector-specific assessments, (2) the OH-SMART tool could be employed to map the multi-sectoral system and identify markets and training gaps, and (3) results could be integrated and presented back to ministerial/ stakeholder leadership for improved workforce planning. | |
