    Action to support the implementation of Codex AMR texts (ACT) project - Veterinary drug residues and AMR: Hidden connections and a tool to find them
    Success story
    2025

    Built around a concise, modular questionnaire, the FAO Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods (RVDF) Tool assesses countries’ capacity to analyse and monitor residues of veterinary drugs, including antimicrobials, in foods. The Tool encourages respondents to consider strengthening their capacity to collect residue data relevant to antimicrobial resistence (AMR) management in addition to the core assessment on the basic compliance monitoring capacities for residues. Often, the situation is more positive than countries think. Inspired by the structure of FAO’s Assessment Tool for Laboratories and AMR Surveillance Systems (FAO-ATLASS) tool for AMR surveillance, the RVDF Tool includes separate modules that can beused independently to evaluate national, university or private laboratories. This modular design allows countries to identify specific capacity gaps — even in the absence of a centralized monitoring infrastructure. The Tool is also been useful to donor countries.The success of the RVDF Tool lies in its alignment with the One Health approach. Addressing veterinary drug residues and AMR effectively requires coordinated action across food safety, animal health, environmental protection, and public health. The RVDF Tool encourages this multisectoral collaboration by supporting stakeholder mapping and engagement, helping countries develop integrated, sustainable solutions.
