Fleming Fund - Senegal Country Grant (FAO) Animal Health

UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)

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 Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and managed by the Fleming Fund management agent as part of the wider portfolio of country, regional and fellowship grants. The grant aims to develop the foundations for AMR and Antimicrobial Use (AMU) surveillance in the animal health sector and some aspects of AMR surveillance in the environment. Its primary objectives are to: (1) Strengthen One Health* governance and data sharing; and (2) Strengthen the AMR and AMU surveillance systems in animal and environmental health. (*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. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because the Fleming Fund Managing Agent identified this implementing partner as uniquely placed to undertake project delivery. However, UN policy states that commercial agreements must be MoUs and must be signed with participating countries. As such, DHSC facilitated the signing of commercial agreements for downstream partners of the Management Agent where appropriate.

The strategy aligns with the Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP) through its four pillars: (1) Improved awareness and understanding; (2) Strengthened knowledge through surveillance and research; (3) Support good governance and capacity building; and (4) Encourage implementation of international standards. The project strengthens coordination across the United Nations (UN) AMR Quadripartite (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and WOAH) in supporting the One Health* agenda globally, specifically in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. (*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.
