Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent.

Investing in targeted, effective and contextual community-based OH strategies implementation shows to improve immediate vulnerable communities integrated (human,animal and environment) preparedness and response and building sustainable resilience strategies against Mpox and future emergencies threats. The importance of global and regional multi-sectorial collaboration, solidarity and coordination cannot be over-emphasized, to mobilize resource, sharing knowledge and successes in enhancing local OH anticipatory and ownership programs capabilities for equitably shared benefits. Timely strengthening community empowerment and national health systems last miles, WASH and vaccination activities are essential to control, contain and sustainable recovery from the ongoing Mpox outbreak and future crises. Tackling survivors and at high risk affected populations stigma, fear and misinformation surrounding Mpox those hinder effective health communication and disease management, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive educational and empowerment strategies. A comprehensive assessment community-based one-health approaches implementation was performed to understand and prioritize key data-driven community-based OH strategies in infectious disease outbreaks beyond.
