Navigating One Health in research-for-development: Reflections on the design and implementation of the CGIAR Initiative on One Health.

ABSTRACT: Adopting One Health approaches is key for addressing interconnected health challenges. Yet, how to best put One Health into practice in research-for-development initiatives aiming to 'deliver impacts' remains unclear.
