From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance consists of world leaders and experts from across sectors working together to accelerate political action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).[1][2][3]

The Group performs an independent global advisory and advocacy role and works to maintain urgency, public support, political momentum and visibility of the AMR challenge on the global health and development agenda.

Mission statement

[edit]

"The Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance collaborates globally with governments, agencies, civil society and the private sector through a One Health approach to advise on and advocate for prioritized political actions for the mitigation of drug resistant infections through responsible and sustainable access to and use of antimicrobials."[4]

Background

[edit]

The Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance was established in November 2020[5][6][7] following the recommendation of the Interagency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance to strengthen global political momentum and leadership on AMR. The inaugural meeting of the Group took place in January 2021.[8]

The Quadripartite Joint Secretariat (QJS) on Antimicrobial Resistance,[9] a joint effort by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) provide secretariat support for the Group.
