18 Nov | Are antimicrobial and pesticide resistance drivers of emerging plant and animal pests and diseases - and how can we respond?
11:00-12:30 CET
This webinar will share how rising antimicrobial resistance, alongside pesticide resistance, contributes to emergence of pests and diseases in plants and animals, and how countries can implement interventions to address these drivers. These two challenges are profoundly linked to the One Health concept, which recognizes the essential interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, and environmental health.

16-24 Nov | World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) Campaign for Africa - 2025
Hybrid
The 7th Africa Continental World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) will be held from 16 to 24 November 2025 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, under the theme “Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.” This year’s campaign is jointly organized by the Africa Quadripartite (FAO, WHO, WOAH, UNEP), Africa CDC, AU-IBAR, and the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania.
The campaign aims to raise awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and promote best practices among stakeholders across human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors. It will also serve as a platform to showcase innovations, strengthen policy dialogue, and foster regional collaboration under the One Health approach.

20-22 Oct | Regional Workshop “Leaving no one behind in AMR research, policy and practice: Integrating gender and equity in AMR One Health Solutions”
Bangkok, Thailand
This regional workshop jointly organized by the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) and the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) is an opportunity for improving the understanding of socio-cultural dimensions and power dynamics that influence antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU); sharing insights on evidence and practice from a One Health perspective of initiatives aimed at reducing the negative and inequitable burdens associated AMR; promoting gender-responsive and equity-oriented research on AMR, which can support innovation in AMR technologies, interventions and approaches to reduce inequities in AMR and AMU outcomes; strengthening the connection between research and policy by showcasing current collaborations (i.e. joint research studies conducted in Asia and Africa with the support of ICARS) and developing new opportunities to apply a gender and equity lens; and identifying priority areas for research and policy development to enhance implementation of equitable AMR approaches within the One Health framework. |
