Pillar Working Groups

Pillar Working Groups

The PREZODE initiative set up Pillar Working Groups (PWGs) composed of experts from the science community, to help deliver each Pillar’s goal and mission as presented in PREZODE Strategic Agenda.

The main aim of the PWGs is to bring together the relevant experts in an innovative format and to develop joint recommendations and actions in a co-creation process to support international organizations and countries across the globe in preventing zoonotic disease emergence and spread, particularly in low-income countries. The PWGs will develop a framework shift to envision innovative prevention strategies, based on the five pillars of PREZODE:


•    PWG 1: Understand the zoonotic risk and risk activities
•    PWG 2: Co-design solutions to reduce the zoonotic risk
•    PWG 3: Strengthen early warning systems to detect zoonotic risks
•    PWG 4: Prototype a global information system for surveillance and early detection
•    PWG 5 (cross-cutting): Engage stakeholders and co-design One Health networks and policies
