This repository is used to map global drivers of zoonotic disease spillover, emergence, and spread downscaled to the South Caucasus region for presentation and comparison across countries.
The repo uses a containerised R workflow built on the targets framework, made portable using renv.
All data is publicly available and can be directly downloaded online. Data sources and direct download links are in the '_targets.R' file.
Individual functions for manipulating the data are available in the 'R' folder.
Maps generated through this repo are embedded in in-depth country reports that take stock of and assess One Health operations in the South Caucasus region. These reports highlight the progress that Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia have made in implementing the One Health approach, while identifying continued needs for One Health system strengthening.
