UNDP VIetnam is seeking for 01 Economist (National Consultant) for a study to better understand the risks to health and related economic costs, from the interface among humans, livestock, and the environment and humans" behaviour and agriculture practices, and proposed interventions.

The second phase of the project Strengthening capacity for the implementation of One Health in Viet Nam (SCOH2), implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) in cooperation with the Ministry of Health (MOH), with funding from USAID via UNDP, supports the Viet Nam One Health Partnership for Zoonoses (OHP) and its Secretariat located within MARD. A key activity of the SCOH2 project is to commission research to support One Health policy-making in Viet Nam. The topics for this research are identified by the OHP Secretariat under the guidance of key technical agencies within MARD and MOH as well as other national and international experts within the project’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

As one contribution to support the development of clear information and recommendations to national policy makers and other key stakeholders, a study will be commissioned to better understand risks to health and related economic costs from the interface among humans, livestock, and the environment and humans" behaviour and agriculture practices in two selected provinces (Lang Son and Dong Thap), and to propose interventions.

The study will take a participatory approach, taking into account the perspectives and decisions of key stakeholder groups, and will focus on analysis of risk in identifying issues and making appropriate and proportionate recommendations. The study should focus on how the animal value chains actually work in practice, rather than how they should ‘ideally’ work.

The study findings are expected to contribute to wider discussion on how the context of One Health in Viet Nam is evolving, taking stock of progress in specific local areas, identifying potential new risks/disease drivers, and how national One Health efforts and international support for activities at the local level may need to evolve accordingly. Possible correlations between potential disease drivers and zoonotic disease incidence may also indicate fruitful areas for further policy-oriented research.

Key target audiences for the potential application of the study findings and recommendations for further interventions include the leaders, experts and responsible officers of related ministries and departments of the Government of Viet Nam, and other national and international members of the Viet Nam One Health Partnership for Zoonoses (OHP), provincial authorities, VOHUN members and other stakeholders.
