Fleming Fund - Multilateral Grant to the World Health Organization (WHO) - Antimicrobial Resistance Quadripartite
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 a contribution to the World Health Organization (WHO) to support countries to implement AMR National Action Plans (NAP) and the development of global protocols for collection of AMR data. The grant objectives are to: (1) Support countries in the Fleming Fund’s regional focus areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia to develop NAPs; (2) Develop a One Health* AMR surveillance protocol focused on Escherichia coli (E. coli); (3) Develop, pilot and roll out methods for monitoring antibiotic consumption and use; (4) Develop and support countries to implement new classification of antibiotics within the Essential Medicines List (EML) and the AWaRe categorisation to encourage rational use of antibiotics; (5) and (6) Strengthen coordination across the UN AMR Quadripartite (WHO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)) to support the One Health* agenda globally, and specifically in LMICs. (*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.) This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because these UN agencies are the only existing organisations in the world with a global mandate to work on AMR with their level of influence and reach. WHO has a unique mandate on human health and coordinates AMR and health workforce plans at regional and country level (something that no other organisation is able to do). FAO is uniquely placed to contribute to the international efforts to address AMR and to provide support to governments, producers, traders, and other stakeholders to adopt measures to minimise the use of antimicrobials and to reduce AMR, while also sensitive to the needs of the food and agriculture sector worldwide. WOAH is the intergovernmental organisation responsible for improving animal health and welfare worldwide.
