In Ethiopia, the challenge of addressing zoonotic diseases is being met with innovative digital solutions that facilitate communication among various stakeholders in the health sector. Recognizing the significance of real-time information exchange and collaboration, Ethiopia established the National One Health Steering Committee (NOHSC) in 2017, bringing together key entities such as the Ministry of Health, the Ethiopian Forest and Climate Change Commission, and the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority. The primary aim of NOHSC is to enhance multisectoral communication and coordination. This success story describes how the committee collaborated with Breakthrough ACTION to develop digital communication platforms to support this initiative. The platforms include the One Health Ethiopia website, which serves as a repository for national One Health information, and Telegram groups at the national and subnational levels, enabling real-time sharing of updates, guidelines, and resources related to priority zoonotic diseases.
