Full title of the project: Developing a national strategy to reduce the threat of Antimicrobial resistance in agriculture, fisheries, food and livestock production as part of the implementation of the Global Action Plan on AMR in four selected countries
Status: Completed
Donor: Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Fleming Fund)
Target Countries: Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana, Cambodia
Period: 9 months (1 January to 31 October 2016)
Objectives: The main objective was to contribute to reducing the development and spread of AMR through food and agriculture. This was achieved through contributing to the development of national strategies on AMU and AMR for selected countries as requested by the GAP, and by elaborating the chapters on agriculture, fisheries, food and livestock production in the targeted countries. The specific objectives were to assist Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana and Cambodia to develop relevant sections of a National Action Plan to reduce the threat of AMR, related to agriculture, livestock production, fisheries and food and to cooperate in a ‘One Health’ perspective to insert these in respective national action plans.
Activities and outputs:
- Output 1: Existing AMR and AMU knowledge, capacities and policies related to agriculture, fisheries, food and livestock in targeted countries are assessed
- Output 2: Sections of a National Action Plan to reduce the threat of AMR, related to agriculture, fisheries, food and livestock production in targeted countries are developed
- Output 3: One Health perspective on an integrated approach of AMR advocated
- Output 4: The global coordination for AMR enhanced
Main achievements:
The project succeeded to:
- Raise awareness and enhance advocacy on AMR-related threats among the representatives of the major stakeholders in the selected countries.
- Improve/update the existing insights on what knowledge and awareness is existing, capacities and policies on AMR and AMU related to agriculture, fisheries, food and livestock in the selected countries.
- Enhance cooperation in implementing the “One Health” integrated approach in addressing AMR.
- Enhance the global coordination for AMR.
- Assist the selected countries to address AMR using a multi-sectorial approach.
The project has made significant progress in line with the intended outputs and activities. In general, the message that AMR is a common threat has been successfully conveyed and received by key sector representatives in all targeted countries with the importance of having in place a “One Health” National Action Plan well understood.
