We have made some good progress in our strategy to promote community level One Health security, which is presented in this fourth issue of TechnoHealth Surveillance.  We are very excited to have introduced to community our research project titled “Enhancing community-based disease outbreak detection and response in East and Southern Africa”. It is interesting to learn about where we work and reflections from community that we support. You will also find in this issue the SACIDS plans to complement national efforts to control cholera outbreak in Tanzania, and recent formative discussions with the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children.

In this issue, we report how prompt response could control the spread of impetigo-like disease outbreak in a community. We are also delighted to share with you how SACIDS team liaised with community to influence behavioural changes towards a neurological syndrome affecting goats and sheep in Ngorongoro district.

Kindly do not hesitate to share with us stories on health related events occurring in humans, animals and environment for the sustainability of our newsletter.

We wish you an informative read and would appreciate your feedback.
