This policy brief analyses how water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) initiatives in Burkina Faso address issues related to animals. How can WaSH be used to reduce the risks of zoonoses, where disease spread from animals to humans? To what extent is animal excreta management considered in Burkina Faso’s national WaSH policies? And what are the main implementation gaps?
The policy brief is written by the SIANI expert group One Health in Burkina Faso, led by AfricSanté and builds on the report Zoonosis Risks in Burkina Faso – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene with a One Health Approach. The brief is available in English and French.
