Report of the expert workshop: Pathways to reviewing elements of governance and legislation for upstream prevention. ASAMCO Laos and Thailand (PREACTS, Afd, IRD)

The PREZODE (PREventing Zoonotic Diseases Emergence) initiative, which the ASAMCO project is tied to, aimed to build resilient socio-ecological systems in order to prevent zoonotic disease emergence while preserving biodiversity and combatting poverty, social injustice and food insecurity. The ASAMCO project is the second phase of PREACTS (PREzode in Action in the global South) project, led by IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and funded by AFD (Agence Française du Développement), as the first operational component of the PREZODE initiative.

The report contributes to synthesize existing knowledge in evaluating mechanisms, tools and legislations to combine - or on the contrary identify the policy and legislative gaps - to improve the prevention of zoonotic diseases at the source (ecosystem and wildlife interface)
