The "One Health Knowledge Café" is one of the chosen projects of the One Health Funds 2020. It is a collaborative effort of more than 11 individuals representing the partners and alumni of the Center for International Health ( CIHLMU ) from Asia, Africa, Europe, South America and North America. The project aims to enhance the academic network of CIHLMU experts, partners, alumni and students by organizing monthly virtual webinars, sharing sessions and offering an online course. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected the health sector but all aspects of life. It has widespread impacts on agriculture, education, transport, tourism, economic activities, and employment and so on.
