Table 2 Divergence in the approach to OH capacity building programs in SEA and SA
South East Asia | South Asia |
|---|---|
One Health approach predominant | FETP-oriented, disease control-based approach with limited emphasis on One Health concepts |
Networks present; supportive frameworks within countries and across borders | No indigenous networks present with focus on OH capacity building; One Health Hubs, created in project-mode initiatives, were the hallmark of some of the programs with extensive OH engagement. |
Capacity building is driven by a competency-based approach | Outcome-oriented approach—with focus on surveillance and response to disease outbreaks and limited emphasis on other competencies; OHEHCB efforts under one initiative focused on implementing collaborative, investigation projects as part of the training package. |
Most commonly adopted curricular model was one based on core competencies and technical competencies. | Topic-based curricula followed for most OHEHCB programs; except for one program, emphasis on competencies-based approach has been limited. |
