Six years ago, the work began with a simple but ambitious goal: turn One Health from concept into coordinated action across Africa.
Today, that journey lives on in a new way.
In partnership with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the One Health Research, Education and Outreach Centre in Africa (OHRECA), DOBIISON has launched The OHRECA Journey, an interactive digital experience tracing six years of milestones, partnerships, research breakthroughs, and real-world impact across the continent.
But this isn’t just a retrospective. It’s a living record of how systems change happens.
The Challenge: Capturing Six Years of Movement
One Health is not a single project.
It’s a framework that recognises the interconnected health of people, animals, and ecosystems. Over six years, OHRECA convened researchers, policymakers, universities, and institutions across Africa to operationalise that idea.
The work spanned countries.
Disciplines.
Institutions.
Communities.
The question became clear:
How do you document something this complex without reducing it to a PDF?
How do you make six years of impact navigable, explorable, and accessible to stakeholders across the continent and beyond?
A static report would archive the work.
But it wouldn’t allow people to experience it.

The Solution: Turning a Programme into a Journey
Rather than summarise the work, ILRI and OHRECA chose to map it.
The OHRECA Journey was designed as an interactive pathway, guiding visitors through key milestones, partnerships, research highlights, and defining moments across the programme’s lifespan.
Visitors don’t scroll.
They move forward.
At each stop, they encounter embedded stories, videos, research insights, and visual documentation that reveal how One Health evolved from vision to coordinated action.
The experience is intuitive:
Tap to move through the timeline.
Explore animated icons to dive deeper.
Discover research and resources layered within the environment.
What might once have been buried across reports and repositories is now structured as a guided, explorable narrative.
The result feels less like reading an archive and more like walking through one.
Making Complexity Accessible
One Health is inherently interdisciplinary.
Veterinary science intersects with public health.
Environmental systems intersect with policy.
Local implementation intersects with continental strategy.
The platform makes that interconnectedness visible.
By layering media, research, and storytelling into a spatial journey, visitors can move at their own pace, zooming in on details or stepping back to understand the broader arc.
It works across devices.
Across bandwidth conditions.
Across audiences.
Researchers see the evidence.
Partners see the collaborations.
Funders see the milestones.
Students see the possibility.
And the public sees how systems thinking translates into real outcomes.
The Results: Preserving Impact Beyond the Programme
As OHRECA closes this chapter, the platform ensures the work doesn’t end with it.
It preserves:
Six years of partnerships
Institutional knowledge
Research outputs
Programme milestones
Continental collaboration
More importantly, it keeps the conversation accessible.
Interactive platforms like this allow organisations to communicate impact in ways that reports alone cannot, turning knowledge into something people can return to, explore, and share.
For ILRI and OHRECA, this is not just a digital archive.
It’s a legacy environment.
A Model for Communicating Impact
Across Africa, institutions are producing transformative work.
But too often, their impact lives in static formats, difficult to navigate, revisit, and experience.
The OHRECA Journey demonstrates another approach.
One where complex programmes become explorable.
Where milestones become immersive.
Where knowledge becomes accessible beyond institutional boundaries.

And for organisations looking to preserve institutional knowledge and communicate impact beyond static reports, interactive platforms offer a structured, enterprise-ready way to do exactly that.
