Synopsis (short abstract) Dimitra is an information and communication project implemented by the Gender and Population Division of FAO with the aim of empowering rural populations by building capacities and facilitating access to information. These are crucial tools in the fight against hunger and poverty, and in the promotion of gender equality. The project works with local partners in Africa and the Near East and is a tool to enable rural women, through their associations and grassroots organisations, to make their voices heard. Modern and traditional information and communication technologies are used to encourage networking and share information. Dimitra uses a participatory approach throughout its activities and at the launch of each new project phase the partner organisations have come together in Brussels to exchange ideas, experiences and determine a shared agenda of priorities and future actions. In June 2005, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA) and the Dimitra project decided to organise a joint Workshop which brought together 22 representatives of the partner organisations from the two networks.

Irrational use of antibiotics threatens human and animal health – make a pledge to stop the misuse and combat resistance. Around the world, many common infections are becoming resistant to the antimicrobial agents used to treat them, resulting in longer illnesses and more deaths. Infections like pneumonia as well as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria are increasingly becoming untreatable because of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Viet Nam is among the countries that in recent years have witnessed a growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, brought about by the excessive and irrational use of antibiotics at all levels of the health care system, in aquaculture and livestock production and the public. This Newsletter is special issue focused on AMR activities.
