WOAH has 250 staff members, two-thirds of whom are based at headquarters. This position is located in WOAH’s Headquarters, Paris (France). Joining WOAH means taking part in the development of one of the leading international organisations, recognised and associated with other multilateral institutions, in the field of worldwide health. It means helping to build a global approach to health, combining animal and human health in a “One Health” approach. It means joining teams motivated by the impact of their actions, the sense of their collective commitment and their recognised professionalism in their respective fields of expertise. In response to the 79th UN General Assembly Political Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance and WOAH 92nd General Session Resolution No. 29 on Veterinary Vaccines and Vaccination, WOAH is establishing the PREVENT Forum, a structured public‑private dialogue mechanism to strengthen collaboration on animal vaccination strategies. This five-year initiative (2026–2030) will explicitly promote equity by design so that perspectives from low- and middle-income countries, smallholder systems, small and medium enterprises and regional manufacturers, producers’ organisations, veterinarians and paraprofessionals are reflected alongside those of larger firms and high‑income regulators. The overall objective is that, by 2030, WOAH Members and animal health stakeholders have strengthened their capacity to prevent and control animal diseases through improved coordination, availability, and strategic use of vaccines, contributing to enhanced animal health systems, reduced AMR, and increased resilience to disease threats.
