FAO values the importance of monitoring and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the animal health sector and its harmonization. Some of the key elements in the surveillance of AMR is data management, analysis and reporting. A regional workshop was proposed with key countries in Asia participating to facilitate exchange on the current state of AMR data management, analysis and reporting in Southeast Asia; to present findings from the regional AMR data management, analysis and reporting; to introduce regional and global AMR surveillance tools; and, plan on ways forward to improving regional cooperation and harmonization on AMR surveillance initiatives.
