The study's goal is to bring rural residents together to combat rabies in their communities. In most rural areas of developing countries, where health care delivery is still a mirage, one health issue must be embraced and adequately implemented. The problems and approaches of implementing one health concept in Sierra Leone's rural communities are examined in this study. Invitees, Non-Governmental Organizations operating in communities, direct and indirect beneficiaries in and around the project area, including officials from the government, were surveyed using a rapid and participatory rural assessment method. District Council members, councillors, ward representatives, Paramount Chiefs, community leaders, health workers, International and National Non-Governmental Organizations, Traders, Animal Owners, and Ministry of Health and Agriculture officials Due to a multitude of factors, including a shortage of qualified available workers, insufficient infrastructure, and a weak health system in the animal and human sectors, adopting One Health in this type of rural community has proven problematic. as well as financial mismanagement and a lack of well-organized organisations. It also emphasised the importance of one-health needs and relevant zoonotic illnesses as a starting point for putting the one-health concept into action. Rabies is one of the zoonoses discovered, and it has been identified as a factor that must be improved in order to achieve rabies control in rural regions.
