Produced by: United Against Rabies Forum

18 June 2025, Frontiers in Public Health

Summary

This United Against Rabies Forum publication explores how cross-cutting approaches can support progress toward the ‘Zero by 30’ goal. While such approaches may offer opportunities to improve efficiency, community engagement, and One Health capacity, this review highlights that they must be carefully designed to avoid compromising core rabies control activities.

The paper outlines key questions for stakeholders to consider before pursuing integrated or cross-cutting approaches and calls for greater documentation, economic analysis, and knowledge-sharing to guide future efforts.
