STOP Spillover

STOP Spillover is a global consortium funded by @USAID and led by @Tufts that is working to understand and address the risks posed by known zoonotic viruses with the potential to spill over from animals and cause outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics in humans.

Why is outcome mapping (OM) such a valuable part of our strategy to #STOPSpillover? OM brings together: ➡️ Local stakeholders, ➡️ Spillover country teams, and ➡️ Local, regional, & national institutions ...to listen, learn, & work together to reduce risk: bit.ly/4ajtT7n

#STOPSpillover's M&E data has revealed six global best practices for animal value chain interventions to reduce risk of zoonotic spillover. View our poster on this topic, which was presented at the 8th World One Health Congress 2024, here: bit.ly/4hcRppj

#STOPSpillover works in countries at high risk for #Zoonotic viruses with #Pandemic potential—and our teams use 2 unique tools to collaborate w/local stakeholders for sustainable interventions: ➡️ Outcome Mapping ➡️ Trials of Improved Practices Learn more: bit.ly/4fTKRKz
