The AMR Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Platform aims to catalyse a global movement for action against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by fostering cooperation between a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels across the One Health spectrum. It seeks to ensure a healthier, more sustainable and resilient present and future in which antimicrobials are preserved as critical lifesaving medicines accessible to everyone.

The Platform was formed by the  Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), known as the Quadripartite, to underscore the threat AMR presents to humans, animals, plants, ecosystems and livelihoods.

The Platform is an inclusive, international and multi-stakeholder venue that brings together actors across the human–animal–plant–environmental interface to assist in preserving antimicrobials as lifesaving medicines and ensuring their responsible use under a One Health approach. It is a voluntary, collaborative coordination mechanism established by the Quadripartite to catalyse a global movement for action against AMR, to contribute to the implementation of the GAP and country NAPs. It will be achieved through the following:

  • Promoting a shared vision for action to tackle AMR: Engaging stakeholders across the human–animal–plant–environmental interface to build a global vision, narrative and targets for actions to tackle AMR.
  • Information-sharing and networking: Providing a venue for information-sharing and collaboration to reach a common understanding and enable coordination of activities between the different sectors.
  • Support concrete actions that substantially advance progress in containing, combating and, ultimately, reversing AMR: Drawing on advice and evidence from relevant global governance mechanisms and other academic and scientific institutions to identify and gain support for priority areas for action.
