Fleming Fund - Sierra Leone Country Grant (WHO) Human Health
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 grant is delivered by the World Health Organization (WHO) and managed by the Fleming Fund management agent as part of the wider portfolio of country, regional and fellowship grants. However, as the grant is delivered by WHO, it has been signed directly with DHSC. The grant aims to develop a robust AMR diagnostic stewardship programme in Sierra Leone, increasing the data collected, analysed, and used. At the national level, it will integrate AMR surveillance into other areas of work at sector and integrated surveillance levels. Efforts will be made to increase health workforce capacity to perform advanced microbiology testing techniques. In addition, coordination will be strengthened following One Health* principles, and practitioner engagement and policy initiatives will be implemented to encourage the use of AMR data. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.) See ‘Fleming Fund - Country and Regional Grants and Fellowships Programme’ GB-GOV-10-FF_MA for more information on the objectives of country grants.
