How Should the Global South Act

The crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is expected to disproportionately impact health, livelihoods and economies of low- and middle-income countries. Action against AMR will be truly global, effective and sustainable if it takes into account the realities, challenges and possibilities of the Global South.

There is a strong need that the Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR, which is currently undergoing a process of revision, adequately captures the voice of the Global South. Led by the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR, the draft updated GAP-AMR 2.0 is expected to be submitted to the WHO governing bodies this month, for subsequent adoption at the 79th World Health Assembly in May 2026

To mark the World AMR Awareness Week 2025, we are organising an international webinar on the subject. Do join us to discuss the Global South priorities as well as options and ways to influence the exercise to revise GAP-AMR 2.0.

CSE has been proactively involved in building an opinion on Global South action. In September this year, it had organised a three- day international workshop to bring together perspectives of some of the countries in Global South (Asia and Africa). The key takeaways from the workshop have been compiled into a report which has been shared with the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR..

Please note: This is a free Zoom webinar, and registration is open to all. All those who register will receive an automatic confirmation. However, the webinar can accommodate a limited number of attendees on a first come first served basis only. Therefore, please try to join five minutes before the scheduled time.
