One Health as an axis for building an Intersectoral System of Innovation (I.S.S) in Cameroon[Une Seule Santé comme axe de construction d'un Système Intersectoriel d'Innovation (S.I.I.) au Cameroun]

The Innovation Systems (IS) approach has been widely used since the end of the 1980s and has seen a plethora of terminologies appropriate to the areas visited. This approach has both made it possible to understand the nature of inter-institutional interactions between stakeholders in a system and has influenced public innovation policies in terms of relevant instruments. The approach in terms of IS has been duplicated on numerous territorial scales (regional, local, national) or even sectoral. However, no inter-sectoral proposal has been made within this approach. We thus challenge the concept of One Health in order to be able to propose an Intersectoral Innovation System within the framework of Cameroon. One Health represents an integrated analysis framework connecting animals, plants and their environment. One Health can thus represent a potential axis for building a new Intersectoral Innovation System through better interministerial and intersectoral coordination. In this, we will see how it can be integrated as an intersectoral public policy tool, as well as inserted into this new innovation system in Cameroon.
