From commitment to action: Partnerships, innovation and country solutions to end human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030

Description

Rabies is one of the world’s deadliest zoonotic diseases, but it is preventable. Eliminating human deaths from dog-mediated rabies requires coordinated action across animal health, human health and communities, making it a clear example of the importance of a One Health approach.

Under the World Rabies Day 2026 theme, Stronger Together, this webinar will focus on moving from commitment to implementation. It will highlight practical tools, technical expertise and country experiences that can support national rabies prevention and control programmes and help translate the global Zero by 30 goal into action.

The webinar will bring together FAO and partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), United Against Rabies, the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC), FAO Reference Centres and national authorities.
