Overview

Zoonoses Action Project (ZAP) is an international project, manned by dedicated volunteers, in collaboration with health and veterinary services in communities in Ghana and other African countries to work towards optimal health for their people, animals and the environment through an integrated One Health approach.

One Health recognizes the links between human, animal, and environmental health and associated community well-being. In working with our target communities to improve the health of their domestic animals, we are helping to achieve healthier, safer, balanced communities for people and their animals.
