This community discussion guide supports health promoters, extension agents, and local leaders in educating Zambian communities on how to live and work safely with animals to prevent zoonotic diseases. Developed by Breakthrough ACTION in collaboration with the Zambia National Public Health Institute and key One Health stakeholders, the tool blends engaging visuals with dialogue prompts and practical prevention tips. It covers diseases such as rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, and zoonotic tuberculosis, and promotes actions like safe animal handling, vaccination, personal protection, and proper disposal of dead animals. Designed for participatory learning, the guide helps communities understand their role in building resilience and preventing outbreaks that threaten human and animal health.
