Dodoma August 10 2024: The "Holela-Holela Itakukosti" campaign, bolstered by support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through Breakthrough ACTION project, and in partnership with the Government of Tanzania's Prime Minister’s Office, Ministries of Livestock and Fisheries, Agriculture, and Health, proudly participated in this year’s Nane Nane Day celebrations. With a dedicated booth in the One Health section at the Prime Minister's Office, the Holela-Holela campaign provided valuable resources and education aimed at informing farmers about zoonotic diseases and their vital role within the One Health framework.
Celebrated annually on August 8th, Nane Nane Day honors the significant contributions of farmers and livestock keepers to Tanzania’s economy and food security. This year’s event highlighted the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, emphasizing how the "Holela Holela Itakukosti" campaign is integral to these efforts. The campaign offered resources and interactive sessions that promoted responsible farming practices. By focusing on preventive measures—such as enhancing hygiene through proper handwashing and cleanliness in animal husbandry, implementing biosecurity practices like using protective gear and maintaining separate tools for home and animal use, and adhering to veterinary guidelines for vaccinations—the campaign demonstrated how farmers can make a substantial impact on public health and environmental sustainability.
The One Health approach is an integrated framework that acknowledges the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Farmers and livestock keepers play a crucial role in this framework, as their practices directly influence the health of both animals and humans. By adopting sustainable and hygienic farming methods, they can help mitigate the spread of diseases and contribute to a healthier ecosystem. The “Holela-Holela Itakukosti” campaign highlights this importance by promoting effective agricultural and livestock management practices that adhere to One Health principles.
Dr. Salum Manyatta, Assistant Director of the One Health Section, stated, “On this Nane Nane Day, we celebrate the critical role of our farmers and livestock keepers in advancing the One Health approach. The integration of human, animal, and environmental health is fundamental to creating a sustainable future. Through the support of USAID and the ‘Holela-Holela Itakukosti’ campaign, we are equipping our farmers with essential knowledge and tools to combat antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases. Their commitment to adopting best practices not only safeguards their livelihoods but also contributes to the broader goals of public health and environmental sustainability. This partnership marks a significant step toward fostering a healthier and more resilient agricultural sector in Tanzania.”
Dr. Manyatta further emphasized, “This Nane Nane Day symbolizes a pivotal moment in our journey toward a healthier Tanzania. The "Holela-Holela Itakukosti" campaign, in collaboration with USAID, showcases the essential role of farmers and livestock keepers in advancing the One Health approach. Their dedication to responsible practices is crucial for addressing antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases, while also enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. Through ongoing education and support, we can ensure a resilient and prosperous future for both Tanzania’s agricultural sector and the broader community.”
