What PREZODE does

PREZODE is an international non-profit initiative established in 2020-2021 to advance research, advocacy, and collaboration for the prevention of zoonotic disease emergence, applying the One Health framework that integrates human, animal, and ecosystem health. The initiative operates as a membership-based network with member organizations distributed globally, governed by a General Assembly and Steering Committee and coordinated by a small International Secretariat of approximately 16 staff. Its primary served communities are local frontline populations in disease emergence zones, research and scientific institutions, and government health authorities.

The initiative's product surface is a multi-component collaborative ecosystem rather than a single software product. Core components include the PREZODE International Platform (central coordination hub), the One Health Initiatives Platform (a global registry of One Health initiatives), the International Data Working Group (data standards and sharing), and the Pillar Working Groups (thematic collaboration structures). Operational programs include PREACTS for Global South implementation, PEPR PREZODE as a French research program, and PREZODE OHANA as a Pacific regional initiative. Technology differentiators center on integration and interoperability across member-driven knowledge and data assets.

PREZODE does not operate on a commercial model. It is funded through member contributions, institutional partnerships, and public health funding mechanisms, and it makes its resources, publications, and frameworks available through its website and documented collaborative processes. Distribution is community-led through membership enrollment, working group participation, and engagement with co-construction workshops, webinars, newsletters, and UN-level policy forums. No patents, certifications, or commercial revenue streams are disclosed.

Core offering

PREZODE is an international non-profit initiative that coordinates research, advocacy, and collaboration to prevent zoonotic disease emergence using the One Health framework. It operates collaborative platforms (the PREZODE International Platform and the One Health Initiatives Platform) and regional/research programs (PREACTS, PEPR PREZODE, PREZODE OHANA) that connect member organizations, research institutions, government health authorities, and local communities across multiple continents. The initiative enables early detection, rapid response, and co-designed prevention solutions focused on stopping pandemics at the source rather than reacting to them.

Product overview

PREZODE is an international initiative focused on zoonosis prevention through a collaborative, community-driven approach. Rather than a single unified software product, PREZODE operates as a multi-component ecosystem comprising the PREZODE International Platform (central coordination hub), The One Health Initiatives Platform (global initiative registry), and various operational programs including PREACTS (Global South implementation), PEPR PREZODE (French research program), and PREZODE OHANA (Pacific regional initiative). These components are supported by thematic working groups (Pillar Working Groups) and the International Data Working Group, which collectively enable research coordination, data sharing, and co-designed prevention solutions across human, animal, and ecosystem health sectors.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• WOAH (World Organisation for Animal Health): WOAH is the intergovernmental authority responsible for improving animal health globally and is one of the Quadripartite partners driving the formal One Health agenda. It overlaps with PREZODE on animal-health and zoonotic prevention but operates at an authoritative intergovernmental scale.
• Centre for Disease Control and Prevention - One Health Office: The CDC's One Health Office integrates human, animal, and environmental health activities in the U.S. context with international collaborations. Comparable to PREZODE on the One Health coordination function, though anchored in a single national agency.
• FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization): FAO is a UN specialized agency working on food security, agriculture, and animal health, and a Quadripartite member driving One Health. It addresses agriculture-environment-animal health intersections that overlap meaningfully with PREZODE's mandate.
• World Health Organization (WHO): The WHO is the UN specialized agency for international public health and leads several pandemic prevention and One Health initiatives (including the Quadripartite). It addresses overlapping themes - zoonotic spillover, surveillance, preparedness - as part of a far broader portfolio.
• Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA): GHSA is a multilateral initiative of governments and organizations aimed at strengthening global capacity for health security and pandemic preparedness. It overlaps with PREZODE's prevention and preparedness mission and is a key policy forum where One Health approaches are debated.

Direct peers

• EcoHealth Alliance: EcoHealth Alliance is a global nonprofit focused on the intersection of wildlife health, environmental conservation, and zoonotic spillover prevention. It directly overlaps with PREZODE on zoonotic disease emergence research and prevention-at-source framing.
• One Health Commission: One Health Commission is a U.S.-based nonprofit that promotes One Health collaboration among academic, governmental, and non-governmental stakeholders. It shares PREZODE's mission of integrated health frameworks and member-driven convening.
• One Health Platform: One Health Platform is an independent European scientific platform that similarly drives collaboration across human, animal, and environmental health. It shares PREZODE's convening role and focus on integrated One Health research, making it the closest direct comparable.

Others

• Pandemic Fund (World Bank): The Pandemic Fund is a World Bank-hosted financial intermediary fund that finances critical pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response capacities in low- and middle-income countries. It addresses the same prevention-at-source funding need that PREZODE's PREACTS program targets.
• Wellcome Trust: Wellcome Trust is a major charitable foundation that funds One Health and pandemic preparedness research. It is comparable as a funder in the same disease-prevention space, though it operates as a grantmaker rather than a coordination platform.
