The workshop brought together 44 health professionals in the Caribbean, including : representatives from research centres and public services in Spanish-speaking countries (Cuba (CIMAB; CENSA; IIFT; CITMA; INVIT; IPK; UDG); Dominican Republic (Ministry of Health; CaribVet; OIRSA; PAHO); Panama (OIRSA) and Colombia (AgroSavia)); English-speaking (Bahamas (CARDI); Jamaica (CARDI); Trinidad and Tobago (UWI; CARPHA); Belize (CaribVet); Antigua (CPHD) and Barbados (UWI); Dominica (CPHD); St Kitts and Nevis (RUSVM) and St Eustatius (CaribVet)) and French-speaking (CIRAD Guadeloupe and Martinique + Montpellier (France)). The 4 health sectors were represented: environmental (3), plant (13), animal (19) and human (3). Participants came from experimental sciences, plant (13) or animal (21), but also from human sciences (4).
International organisations also played an active role: UNEP, FAO, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH or OMSA) and the USDA.
Bilingual participants and facilitators were able to translate from English to Spanish (when necessary) on site.

The workshop began with brief presentations of the activities carried out during the first phase of the AUSCAR project (during 2023). The ImpresS team, working closely with the organisers (ASTRE research unit), then presented the concepts and tools on which the ImpresS ex ante approach is based. The work carried out during an initial workshop in October 2023 was presented by Marie-Jeanne GUENIN (workshop organiser for Astre): vision of the future for a Caribbean One Health community of practice integrating environmental, plant and animal (including human) health; problem tree. The following two days were devoted to participative work, in the form of sub-groups and plenary sessions, around the mapping of stakeholders who are protagonists and impacted by the problems identified, followed by the mapping of desirable changes (or outcomes), based on the construction of a shared vision of the link between the intervention (in this case the constitution and strengthening of an extended One Heath community of practice, over the next 4 years) and the generation of change. The final day was devoted to consolidating the mapping of outcomes, and then to brainstorming at large group level on the strategies and activities to be carried out by the community of practice, starting with those that could be implemented from the first year (2024).

The workshop provided an opportunity for people to get together in a friendly atmosphere, foreshadowing a "community of practice". At the end of the workshop, a roadmap was drawn up for activities to be carried out from the start of the community of practice (in 2024). These activities are part of a wider intervention logic prefigured by the co-design of the theory of change.
The workshop was an opportunity to introduce participants (and facilitators) to the ImpresS approach ex ante, or to strengthen the skills of others who had already had occasion to use this approach (as part of the CaribVet dP, for example, or the CaribGreen project).
It was organised and facilitated by a team combining CIRAD staff from Montpellier (Séverine THYS, Astre anthropologist, Montpellier; Antoine LURY, Africam project coordinator) and the French West Indies (Emeric GENDRON, Samuel BOUCHARD, Julie MATHELIN and Marie-Jeanne GUENIN).
