Given that local communities face the greatest exposure to these issues, this study sought to acquire the contextual knowledge needed to set up community-based zoonotic disease surveillance. Field investigations based on a One Health approach were carried out at two sites in the Guéckédou prefecture in Guinea's forest region. Semi-structured individual interviews and focus group discussions were held with 87 members of the community. These interviews provided new information about zoonotic disease surveillance in Guinea, which we then used to map the health actors and their relationships within the community. We gathered details about the barriers they face and their concerns, such as the fundamental importance of training, a lack of legitimacy, and the differences in means allocated among the human, animal, environmental, health sectors. Some relatively unidentified stakeholders also emerged as possible communication channels. This study shows the importance of talking to the primary users of surveillance to ensure the acceptability and relevance of the surveillance system to the local community.
