Overview:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical issue posing a severe threat to global health, animal health, the environment, agrifood systems, and the effectiveness of medical treatments worldwide. Accelerated action using a One Health approach is essential to address AMR across human, animal, plant, and environmental domains. The upcoming UNGA High-level Meeting on AMR (September 2024) and the 4th Ministerial Conference on AMR to be hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (November 2024) offer unique opportunities to renew commitments and advance bold actions against AMR. The AMR MPTF could potentially serve as a key funding mechanism to support the implementation of NAPs and reinforce global governance efforts.
The event will focus on sharing experiences from countries that have received joint support from the Quadripartite organizations (FAO, UNEP, WHO, WOAH) towards implementing key antimicrobial resistance (AMR) interventions through a One Health approach, which demonstrates the catalytic role of the Antimicrobial Resistance Multi-Partner Trust Fund (AMR MPTF). The discussion will include country representatives, representatives of the Quadripartite and the AMR MPTF Resource Partners who will highlight their complimentary roles in identifying context-specific priorities and implementing appropriate AMR interventions with the view to enhancing human and animal health, transforming food systems, and addressing the environmental dimensions of AMR.
This event aims to showcase examples of One Health response to AMR in different country settings, highlighting the catalytic role of the AMR MPTF in supporting their efforts and facilitating implementation of multisectoral AMR National Action Plans, building on the collective expertise of the Quadripartite (FAO; UNEP; WHO and WOAH) partners. This event will include panels from AMR MPTF countries and resource partners to share experiences and lesson learning on One Health cross-sectoral collaboration for priority AMR interventions and catalyze public and private investments in AMR, especially in view of the upcoming UN General Assembly High-level Meeting on AMR (September 2024) and 4th High Level Ministerial Conference on AMR (November 2024) showcasing AMR MPTF as one of the key financing mechanisms to prioritize and support country response.
The AMR MPTF support aligns with G20 flagship priorities for action under Brazil’s Presidency, such as renewed action on One Health, and implementation of the Framework for Economic Vulnerabilities and Risks (FEVR), identifies AMR as a critical threat to global health, security, and stability.
