The project “One Health – Control of Zoonotic Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance in the Dairy Value Chain in Malawi, Ethiopia, and Tanzania” (OH Milk), was launched in a three-day event organized in collaboration with the Tanzania Veterinary Laboratory Agency (TVLA). Collaborating institutions, Sokoine University of Agriculture and Tanzania Dairy Board, were also present. Team leader from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) Edgar Brun introduced the institute’s role, followed by an overview of the project activities by Shimaa Ali from the NVI.

During the meeting, the Norwegian government's ongoing collaboration and support were acknowledged and it was highlighted that the project was a timely intervention to support the country’s needs in the sector.

During the workshop, stakeholders reviewed the 2025 work plan, providing valuable feedback on the project’s activities. In addition, an online session was held with NVI researchers Marie Krosness and Helga Høgåsen, followed by an in-person workshop led by Shimaa Ali.

The event also included visits to the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Dar es Salaam, where embassy representatives were briefed on the project’s progress. The team later visited the TVLA and the Centre for Infectious Diseases and Biotechnology (CIDB).
