Summary Report of the Online Survey on Key Elements to Guide the Development of the Founding Document of the Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against Antimicrobial Resistance

Overview

The Quadripartite Organizations (FAO, UNEP, WHO, WOAH) conducted an online survey as the first step in a global consultative process to inform the establishment of the Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against Antimicrobial Resistance (IPEA). The online survey consisted of 19 questions and was open from 4 July 2025 to 1 August 2025. The panel aims to strengthen the global AMR response by ensuring it is grounded in independent, multidisciplinary evidence across One health – including human health, animal health, agrifood, and environmental sectors but also ensuring evidence is gathered form other relevant disciplines. The survey sought to capture diverse stakeholder perspectives to help shape the panel’s scope, functions, governance, and institutional arrangements, with a particular focus on the balance between political legitimacy and scientific independence and the need to ensure broad One Health perspectives to the AMR evidence. This document is the summary report of this online survey.
