Global South Action Against Antimicrobial Resistance

January 06, 2026

Countries of the Global South are said to be disproportionately impacted by the rising crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Given the stark differences in ground realities from high-income countries, the fight against AMR needs to be rooted in the local context, technologically feasible and cost-effective.

Despite constraints of limited capacity, inadequate resources and competing priorities, these counties have stepped up their AMR fight with initiatives, best practices and learnings, albeit while tackling challenges in parallel.

This report attempts to bring together select efforts and insights from Global South experts to inform the global community about their action against AMR. It comprises a collection of opinion pieces from governments, civil society, the scientific community, industry and intergovernmental organisations across One Health sectors.
