In April and May, the AMR Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Platform (MSPP) convened its constituency clusters—spanning Research and Academia, Civil Society, Governments, UN entities and Specialized Agencies, global and regional intergovernmental organizations, Private Sector, Resource Partners, Philanthropic Organizations, and Financial Institutions—for their quarterly strategic sessions. These meetings are critical: they provide a forum not just for networking, but for driving alignment and discussing shared priorities on AMR.
Clusters remain a foundational pillar of MSPP’s governance framework. By grouping stakeholders according to constituency type, they promote transparency and facilitate focused collaboration, serving as neutral spaces where members can build consensus, amplify their collective voice, and coordinate action on complex and pressing AMR challenges.
During the latest cluster meetings, discussions centered on the establishment of the Independent Panel on Evidence for Action (IPEA), sharpening clarity around stakeholder roles and expectations with the outcomes shared by members following the meeting in Nigeria convened by the Nigerian Academy of Science, the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, and Boston University, with support from Wellcome on 28-29 April 2025.
The Governments Cluster had also a deep dive into the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) frameworks for National Action Plans (NAPs), featuring experts from Quadripartite organizations and a detailed case study of Jordan’s national M&E system – sharing common challenges and learning from each other.
At the core of the Platform are its Action Groups—the coalitions of the willing. These groups are member-driven, defined by their interests and priorities, and inherently multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary, thus walking the talk on AMR via One Health. Action Groups are designed to be outcome-focused, delivering tangible results through targeted activities at every level. Progress continues apace, with key deliverables expected from some of them in the months ahead. Members eager to contribute and join them are invited to reach out to us for connection.
Further steering the Platform’s trajectory, the 6th Steering Committee convened to review progress across Action Groups, discuss the IPEA establishment and update to the Global Action Plan (GAP). It confirmed that this year’s 3rd Plenary Assembly will be held virtually, while the 2026 Plenary Assembly will return as an in-person event, alongside the 5th Ministerial Conference on AMR in Nigeria.
Together, these governance pillars enable stakeholders to engage meaningfully across the One Health sectors, building consensus, aligning and driving collective coordinated, impactful responses to one of the world’s most pressing health and development threats.
