However, despite years of investment in developing them, many countries have found multisectoral approaches, such as One Health, difficult to operationalize at national and subnational levels. One explanation for the lack of uptake is the limited nature of guidance on the design and adaptation of MSPs that consider local institutional dynamics. In this paper, we describe the process of developing a practical framework for assessment and characterization of MSPs. We use findings from an earlier review of academic and programmatic literature to develop a Theory of Action for multisector One Health partnerships that can nest into the short-term outcomes identified in the Theory of Change for One Health developed by the One Health Quadripartite. This comprises five elements: Characteristics; Starting conditions; Collaborative process; Outputs; and Responsiveness. We develop additional attributes to undertake a detailed characterization of different \u2018levels\u2019 of One Health partnerships. In addition, this Theory of Action allows for multiple outcomes of interest to be recognized and addressed. We then use the Theory of Action to develop a reflection tool to help country programme managers identify the specific characteristics of their respective One Health partnerships; recognize the differences in capacities and expectations of different partners; and use these insights to identify specific ways to strengthen the collaborative process. To our knowledge, this is the first time a detailed characterization of MSPs based upon programmatic attributes has been developed. Such a conceptualization of MSPs can facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of One Health and other multisector programmes and increase their relevance to the needs of the local context within which these are based.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czaf064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T11:25:25Z","timestamp":1757330725000},"page":"1142-1148","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Operationalizing
