About HALI

The HALI project has been working with local stakeholders to investigate health at the human-animal-environment interface in Tanzania since 2006. HALI is currently facilitating the PREDICT project in Tanzania, part of USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats Program. In addition, HALI is continuing to investigate zoonootic transmission of tuberculosis and other pathogens among wildlife, livestock, and people through funding provided by the US National Institutes of Health. In 2011, HALI received funding from the USAID Adapting Livestock Systems to Climate Change CRSP, to strengthen livestock health, and pastoralist nutrition and livelihoods in a changing environment.

HALI is led by Dr. Jonna Mazet, Director of the Wildlife Health Center and Executive Director of the One Health Institute, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, and Professor Rudovick Kazwala, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Public Health, Sokoine University of Agriculture.

HALI is managed by Dr. Harrison Sadiki, Sokoine University of Agriculture, and David Wolking, Wildlife Health Center.
