Challenges and Possibilities to Prevent and Contain AMR

April 08, 2024

In September 2024, UN member states will discuss and commit to future action on AMR at a high-level meeting during the General Assembly in New York. Experts worldwide see this as a big opportunity for stronger global action against the global threat of AMR. Bold outcomes, specific commitments and targets are expected. With the drivers and levels of AMR varying among countries and differences in resources to fight AMR, a good understanding about what can work in LMICs will make a huge difference.

This report highlights the challenges and possibilities from the perspective of LMICs in select areas related to, for example, access to effective antibiotics, sustainable food systems, environmental AMR spread, and implementation of national AMR action plans. It is based on a decade-and-a-halflong experience of CSE’s work in India and engagements with African and Asian countries as well as global stakeholders. At the core of this work is the evidence and learnings developed from the ground and a perspective that is aligned to sustainable and equitable development of the Global South.
