Multi-Partner Trust Fund
About
What is the AMR MPTF?
The AMR Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) is the world’s principal pooled-financing mechanism established under the United Nations specifically to support low- and middle-income countries implement and strengthen multisectoral AMR National Action Plans.
It does more with less.
How does the AMR MPTF operate?
It uniquely harnesses the expertise of the Quadripartite - FAO, UNEP, WHO and WOAH - among world leaders in AMR and One Health to advance country-led action across human, animal, plant and environmental sectors.
It is breaking silos.
It blends high-level global governance, surveillance, and policy with collaborative local action across sectors by leveraging knowledge and coordinating efforts of resource partners, governments, community-based organizations, and the private sector.
It is bridging and filling gaps.
Why is the AMR MPTF needed?
The AMR Fund exponentially maximizes investments through its holistic approach, catalyzing both domestic resources and multilateral development bank funding and complementing other bilateral AMR investments by consolidating a One Health approach at country level.
It is seeding sustainable multisectoral AMR action.
What does the AMR MPTF achieve?
The AMR MPTF combines the financial and technical resources of its Quadripartite members and contributing partners to enable countries to advance their own priorities, aligned with National Action Plans (NAPs), to strengthen:
- surveillance of AMR and antimicrobial use
- stewardship and optimal use and disposal of antimicrobials
- awareness and promote behavior change for tackling AMR
- infection prevention and control programmes and alternative therapies
- collaboration among government actors, private-sector and other national stakeholders
The AMR MPTF ensures joint action among national, regional-and global-level members of the Quadripartite to bring expertise where it is needed most, at country-level.
In addition to country programming, the AMR MPTF supports global programmes that contribute directly to country results, such as the One Health Legislative Assessment Tool on AMR, and supporting countries to evaluate and renew their NAPs. The AMR MPTF also contributes to essential global governance mechanisms such as the establishment of the Independent Panel for Evidence for Action against AMR, the Global Leaders Group and the AMR Multistakeholder Partnership Platform.
It is advancing AMR action in countries, for countries.
Where is the AMR MPTF present?
The AMR MPTF has supported 14 countries since 2019: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mongolia, Morocco, Peru, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.
7 additional countries are expected to receive multi-year funding from 2026 including Egypt, Ghana, Honduras, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Nepal, Philippines and Sri Lanka (pending expert, independent validation). Within phase two, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe are slated for a second grant to expand on the positive results of their first phase projects.
