Fleming Fund - Caribbean Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance Strengthening Project (PAHO)
Project disclaimer
Description
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Fleming Fund which helps to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. This project is delivered in partnership with the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and will strengthen efforts to combat AMR across the ten ODA-eligible Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Member States and through Barbados as a regional hub for External Quality Assurance. This will be achieved by enhancing infrastructure and building health workforce capacity in laboratories for the detection and surveillance of AMR, strengthening AMR emergency response and stewardship, and developing AMR data management and digital systems. Through catalytic investment in national systems, these interventions seek to support completion of AMR National Action Plans, increase reporting from the region to global AMR data repositories such as the Global AMR Surveillance System (GLASS) and strengthen use of AMR data to inform changes in policy, regulatory and clinical practice. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because PAHO has a unique position to support in-country AMR activity and a unique mandate to support the Fleming Fund objectives on the implementation of National Action Plans. It is also the only regional office of the World Health Organisation in this area, which has a unique global mandate on human health.
