Synopsis (short abstract) World Antimicrobial Awareness Week has been renamed World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) after global consultation meetings with participants from various sectors and regions. The decision to rebrand the global campaign stems from the need for a more appropriate term encompassing the concept of resistance, which is the main challenge that needs to be addressed. While the acronym "WAAW" remains unchanged, its expansion now stands for "World AMR Awareness Week." This global campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage action among One Health stakeholders to tackle the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens. Various events and activities are held worldwide from November 18 to 24 to celebrate World AMR Awareness Week. This campaign guide is designed to provide key information on how you can join and participate in the celebrations. It serves as a resource to inspire and guide you in developing your activities that address the impact of AMR on our world. Your support is crucial to the success of this campaign!

    Also available in:
    La semaine mondiale de sensibilisation aux antimicrobiens a été rebaptisée Semaine mondiale de sensibilisation à la résistance aux antimicrobiens (WAAW - World AMR Awareness Week) après des réunions internationales de consultation avec des participants de différents secteurs et régions. La décision de rebaptiser la campagne mondiale est motivée par la nécessité de trouver un terme plus approprié pour englober le concept de résistance, qui est le principal défi à relever. Si l'acronyme « WAAW » reste inchangé, son nom complet signifie désormais « World AMR Awareness Week » (semaine mondiale de sensibilisation à la résistance aux antimicrobiens). Cette campagne mondiale vise à sensibiliser les acteurs de l'initiative « Une seule santé» et à les encourager à agir pour lutter contre l'émergence et la propagation d'agents pathogènes résistants aux médicaments. Ce guide de la campagne vise à fournir des informations clés sur la manière dont vous pouvez vous associer et participer aux célébrations. Il constitue une ressource pour vous inspirer et vous guider dans l'élaboration de vos activités relatives à l'impact de la résistance aux antimicrobiens sur notre monde.
