In 2024, on-the-ground activities were initiated in each country, with a strong focus on cross-sector partnerships and frequent coordination meetings to facilitate knowledge sharing and synergy among all participants. Progress to date includes training (training workshops for PhD and Master students), significant data collection (sampling of wildlife and domestic animals, epidemiological surveys, and knowledge, attitude, and practices surveys), co-designed workshops on integrated surveillance systems, a deeper understanding and integration of gender perspectives, and the preliminary implementation of prevention mechanisms. Local and national governments are actively engaged to ensure the sustainability and long-term impact of AfriCam\u2019s activities. The project plans to expand these activities, enhance regional synergies beyond individual countries, and boost global collaboration through partnerships with ASAMCO.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987-1024x730.png\" alt=\"ASAMCO logo\" class=\"wp-image-1195 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987-1024x730.png 1024w, https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987-768x548.png 768w, https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987-1536x1096.png 1536w, https:\/\/prep.prezode-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/logo_ASAMCO-e1743607444987.png 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ASAMCO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PREACTS-ASAMCO project officially started on 28 August 2024.
