On Wednesday 24th September, GBADs’ own Jonathan Rushton, Mieghan Bruce, and Deborah Stacey presented a learning dialogue within the FAO One Health Community of Practice on the Return on Investment of One Health and Community of Practice on Information and Communication Technologies for One Health webinar entitled “Quantifying animal disease burden to contribute towards return-on-investment calculations in One Health projects.” 

The webinar explored how the Global Burden of Animal Disease approach can support Return-on-investment calculations in One Health initiatives. GBADs was able to present the progress in developing burden metrics, from data collection to integration, an introduction to the GBADs technical guide (which can be downloaded here) with practical examples and updates on the GBADs knowledge engine and its evolving interface. These were well received and were followed by a lot of discussion.
