This project has been completed. The information on this page shows the path Biovision took in collaboration with local partners – and the approaches that were central to it.
In rural areas, livestock keepers often live in close proximity to their animals, which can pose health risks. To improve human health, it is essential to also promote the health of animals and the environment. This holistic approach is called "One Health."
In 2021, Biovision launched a pilot project in Uganda to establish advisory clinics and strengthen extension services in villages. These services focus on the synergies between crop and livestock farming while addressing key production and health challenges faced by farming families. Since 2022, the project has scaled up in Uganda and expanded to Kenya.

With one year of project implementation remaining, joint clinic activities will continue. Awareness campaigns on aflatoxins, pesticide contamination, and rabies are planned for early 2024 in Kenya and Uganda.
Some districts have already integrated joint clinics into their workplans, paving the way for sustainable adoption. The national One Health strategy is under review to improve coordination and operationalize district-level networks.
