Scoping Phase Workshop 3: N4H in Mongolia

Scoping Phase Workshop 3 for the Nature for Health Project in Mongolia

Mongolia was selected as one of six recipient countries for the Nature for Health (N4H) Initiative. Following the kick-off workshop for the project in December 2023 and a second workshop in January 2024, participants met for a third and final workshop in February-March 2024 to develop activities for the Implementation Phase.

This workshop was part of the Scoping Phase for the N4H project in Mongolia. Participants from across sectors — animal health, human health and the environment — met to share their experiences and perspectives. WOAH is the lead implementing agency of the project in Mongolia, and organised the hybrid in-person and online “Scoping Phase Workshop for the Nature for Health Project in Mongolia” in association with SCVL and GAVS in February – March 2024. There were 41 participants.

The workshop content mainly comprised group work with plenary discussions. A small writing team started to prepare the Implementation Phase Document for submission to the N4H Secretariat. After the Secretariat’s approval, project implementation will begin.
