Description

Background: The identification and engagement of the key stakeholders is required to address One Health challenges.

Methods: Net-map tool was used to map and analyze the institutions linkage to assess their suitability to support One Health initialization in Libya.

Results: The key stakeholders were identified and categorized to build a strong collaboration to ensure a coordinated and effective approach to prevent, detect and response to health challenges. The consensus was reached and the actors were plotted on a stakeholder influence/interest matrix to visually represent their potential impact to the implementation of One Health. The network found that the NCDC and NCAH are heavily involved in network with number of connections followed by MoH, ESA, MoA, FDCC, MoE and MoLA. However, WHO ranked the highest among international organizations, while FAO and WOAH had a scored less influential toward the institutionalization. SWOT analysis was used to identify enablers and bottlenecks to the operationalization strategies.

Conclusion: The Key entities like NCAH, NCDC, MoH emerged as pivotal institutions in the network and crucial for overseeing the surveillance and control of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases in playing a leadership role in coordinating the One Health approach in Libya.
