Through a grant to the South Centre the Fleming Fund is seeking to increase understanding of the challenges around antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and advocate for action among governments, civil society organisations and networks in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The grant to the South Centre will aim to 1. support positive developments in global processes of AMR and commitments to actions on addressing AMR; 2. assist developing countries to participate positively in the global processes on AMR and to have a sense of ownership of this agenda; 3. build the knowledge base and capacity of LMICs to understand the nature and seriousness of the AMR crisis and to take policy measures and actions nationally to address this crisis; and 4. strengthen the capability of civil society groups to build awareness and take actions on AMR issues.

Projects funded through Fleming Fund will benefit people in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of drug resistant infection is greater.
