    The FAO-implemented United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Project on Addressing Antimicrobial Usage in Asia’s Livestock, Aquaculture and Crop Production Systems (OSRO/RAS/502/USA) is one of the key projects of FAO RAP in the region working to raise awareness on AMR risks and promote prudent antimicrobial use in food and agriculture. Communication and advocacy activities undergo an annual review to reposition and revitalize strategies and plans. As part of the preparations for the World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) and refining the yearlong AMR communication and advocacy strategy, an internal consultation workshop was held from 23-24 June 2021. The consultation workshop aimed to review the 2020 AMR communication and advocacy strategy/campaign and WAAW and discuss lessons learned; and, discuss and develop the 2021-2022 AMR communication and advocacy strategy and 2021 WAAW plan.

    World AMR Awareness Week, 18-24 November 2023
    Campaign Guide
    2023
    World Antimicrobial Awareness Week has been renamed World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) after global consultation meetings with participants from various sectors and regions. The decision to rebrand the global campaign stems from the need for a more appropriate term encompassing the concept of resistance, which is the main challenge that needs to be addressed. While the acronym "WAAW" remains unchanged, its expansion now stands for "World AMR Awareness Week." This global campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage action among One Health stakeholders to tackle the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens. Various events and activities are held worldwide from November 18 to 24 to celebrate World AMR Awareness Week. This campaign guide is designed to provide key information on how you can join and participate in the celebrations. It serves as a resource to inspire and guide you in developing your activities that address the impact of AMR on our world. Your support is crucial to the success of this campaign!
