The One Health Task Force (OHTF) is a collaborative platform for the local government. It usually mirrors the structure of the One Health platform at the national level. The OHFT generally consists of 5-7 people representing the local administration and the core line ministries (Health, Agriculture and Livestock, Environment and Natural Resource or equivalent). Other members may include representatives from the Women and Social Affairs, Education, and Disaster Risk Prevention and Management. The OHTF oversees the organization and delivery of the integrated health services via the OHU and guarantees the monitoring of its performance. OHTF members are trained on the concept of One Health and the Standard Operating Procedures for the establishment of the OHU. Selected OHTF members are trained as trainers to support cascading the training to service providers and other government staff. By taking increasing ownership and responsibility, the OHTF ensures the sustainability of the OHU and its gradual recognition and funding as effective service delivery model for pastoralist communities. 

The Multi-Stakeholders Innovation Platform (MSIP) is a collaborative platform for community members. It includes about 15-20 women and men selected by the community and representing different community groups (e.g., traditional and religious leaders, community-based service providers, traditional healers, teachers, businessmen/women, representatives from the local rangeland institution). Where possible, MSIPs build on already established and functional groups that work at the community level on a voluntary basis. MSIP members are trained on the concept of One Health, leadership and management. Other training activities can be organised to enhance their skills and competencies and ensure their active engagement in specific community-based interventions. The MSIPs meet on monthly basis to discuss local issues and jointly identify suitable solutions to, for example, disease outbreaks and other health threats, livestock densities and movements, pasture availability, and water access.

The One Health Unit (OHU) is a collaborative platform for service providers and community-based actors. It serves as primary means for the planning and delivery of integrated human, animal, environmental and rangeland health services at the community level. The OHU can be mobile, static or a mix of the two delivery modes. Mobile OHUs follow the routes of pastoralists and their livestock, providing services according to a monthly schedule and addressing the needs of different herding communities. Static OHUs provide services from a shared facility (e.g., human/animal health post, water point or other village gathering site) where service providers work side by side. The OHU is staffed by service providers coming from different government departments, including health workers from the local Health Office or referral Health Facility, animal health technicians from the local Livestock Office or any public or private veterinary facility, and National Resource Management officers or Environmental Health officers from the local Office. The OHU also includes community-based actors (such as Community Health Volunteers and Community Animal Health Workers) which facilitate the mobilisation of people and guide the discussion around health threats and other events affecting local communities.

Once the pre-feasibility studies were completed, technical and financial cooperation was provided to 15 projects throughout the country, mobilizing both public and private investment funds (counterpart resources).

Two calls were made to access non-reimbursable funds, and projects proposed by 8 municipalities with 3 consortiums, 1 municipal council, 2 private companies, 2 organizations, 1 Integral Development Association and 1 ASADA were developed.

Support was provided to strengthen the communication capacities of local governments, providing tools for effective communication with the participation of the inhabitants of the canton.

An initial diagnosis was made to identify shared challenges among different local governments, highlighting the absence of a strategy to guide the different communication actions in waste management, which reduces the impact and delays the education and awareness-raising process that is being pursued.

This process was built in a joint and participatory manner, improving communication and bringing the canton's population closer to simple solutions to improve integrated waste management and the quality of life in their communities.

A Communication Toolkit on Integrated Waste Management was also developed to support the municipalities in their communication, awareness-raising and call to action aimed at the citizens of their cantons, since citizen participation is a fundamental and essential element of effective integrated solid waste management.

As part of the Management Plan for the Guadalupe Environmental Protection Area (APA) and in support of the ZATAN, the environmental agencies of Pernambuco (Semas/PE and CPRH) conducted a study on the carrying capacity of the beaches and reefs in Tamandaré and Sirinhaém, as well as on Santo Aleixo Island. The study provides calculations and recommendations regarding the number of visitors, vessels, and tourist activities that this region can support without compromising its natural characteristics and the health of its ecosystems.

Specifically, the study indicates that the number of vessels operating in the estuary of the Formoso River should be limited to 129 boats per day. Additionally, catamarans are restricted to a maximum of 60 passengers each, and small boats are limited to 9 passengers.

For further details regarding the maximum number of visitors and vessels allowed at specific embarkation and disembarkation points, please refer to the clipboards distributed in the region.

With the zoning proposal agreed in the workshops, 116 representatives of the various segments of the community in the Formoso estuary region participated in a public hearing that was open to all stakeholders. As a result of the commitment and collaboration of all stakeholders, a decree was drafted and approved in January 2021, at the 100th meeting of the Council of the State of Pernambuco (Consema). Decree no. 50.049/2021 establishes rules for nautical activities in the estuary of the Formoso River, including for recreational, tourist and traditional fishing activities. It also regulates which activities are permitted, prohibited (e.g. visitation, fishing) or encouraged (e.g. monitoring, research, cleaning) in specific areas of the estuary. It proclaims the importance of protecting and preserving the ecosystem and the livelihoods of local communities.

The area is very complex and dynamic in terms of socioeconomic and environmental change and cannot be analysed on the basis of secondary data alone. It was therefore necessary to observe and listen to the people who live and work in the region. After a period of interviews, site visits, and various technical, institutional and local meetings, three participatory workshops were conducted.

The first meeting to plan the ZATAN process took place in July 2018. In the same month, several technical meetings were held with the institutions involved to agree on the activities required for setting up the zoning process. The preliminary diagnosis of the ZATAN consultant team began with extensive research and analysis of existing data and documents, such as environmental impact studies, dissertations and theses, environmental laws, spatial and environmental planning instruments, as well as management plans for the area.

Based on this analysis, several field visits were made to observe the particularities of the territory. In addition to the observation process, interviews were conducted with fishermen and -women, boat owners, shellfish gatherers, and traditional communities such as Quilombolas, among others. The aim was to understand the local reality, map nautical activities and raise awareness among the various stakeholders of the importance of their participation in developing the ZATAN. 

Much support was given to improve fisher capacity to manage their access to and use of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs). The programme recognised that the establishment of marine managed and protected areas as a method of marine management has resulted in increased reliance on Fish Aggregating Devices installed outside the marine managed and protected areas, for sustenance of the fishery sector.  Fishers within the Carriacou Fisher Folks Inc also recognised this and the need for attention to be paid to the monitoring and management of this resource.  This beckoned the implementation of FAD Data Management training for fishers of Carriacou and Petit Martinique.  The training was facilitated through the Fisheries Department of the Government of Grenada, and included information sharing on, but not limited to data on marine conservation, history of FADs in the region, the importance of data collection, legislation, its challenges, development of informal protocols and rules, identifying fish species as well as data collection methodology and post data collection analysis.  The workshop also realised the commitment of fishers to establish GrenFAD, which will take the leading role in the management of the FADs.  The fishers agreed and signed off on the soft rules for FAD Fishing, membership and FAD fees, data collection, data collection templates and protocols for data collection and management.  Actors in the fishery sector and marine management/protection were also trained in the use of underwater drones for remote sensing. The Programme provided support for construction of at least 6 FADS for the St. Marks fishers in Dominica. In the case of Saint Lucia, the provision of navigational tools to assist in accessing the FAD locations, which are often many miles offshore, and generally speaking to assist with safety at sea.
