GIZ’s global project supporting the International Alliance against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade comprises work with government partners in Viet Nam under the umbrella of “Reducing Health Risks in the Wild Animal Trade in Viet Nam”. The results of this two-year cooperation include inputs to numerous policy and technical recommendations to strengthen Viet Nam’s efforts to ensure biosecurity in the many facilities that are farming wild animals. Under the One Health approach, the project in Viet Nam applied a threefold approach to strengthen the management of commercial wildlife farming activities towards reducing risks, prevent zoonotic transmission and spillover from wild animals to humans. This includes (1) applied research, (2) policy review and (3) multi-stakeholder policy advocacy. Insights from applied research informed the policy review and vice versa. The research results were widely shared through various inter-sectoral multi-stakeholder platforms. The recommendations resulting from the multi-stakeholder consultations put a particular focus on acting up to new responsibilities that require the cooperation of relevant government departments, local stakeholders, farmers and international partners. Below are some of the key reports from the project that highlight key findings of our policy review and applied researches focusing on the topic of addressing zoonotic risks in wild animal farming.
