Africa One Health University Network (AFROHUN), formerly One Health Central and Eastern Africa (OHCEA) has promoted SOHICs as one of the strategies in pre-service training to support One Health experiential learning and promote breaking of disciplinary silos among the future One Health workforce. SOHICs are self-organizing platforms that among other objectives, promote the building of requisite competencies among university students to create knowledge and awareness on critical health and health-related issues in the communities. Through their activities, SOHICs have impacted students, faculty and communities where they conduct outreach activities. Through these activities, SOHICs create societal benefits in areas of knowledge strengthening and behavior change
