User’s manual
2025Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Progressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance (FAO-PMP-AMR) is a tool designed by FAO to support countries in developing, revising, and implementing the food and agriculture components of National Action Plans on AMR (AMR-NAPs). FAO-PMP-AMR plays a critical role in empowering the food and agriculture sectors to implement AMR-NAPs, enabling a One Health approach at the national level. The FAO-PMP-AMR covers 41 topics for comprehensive assessment of AMR-NAPs, and for each topic, it proposes four steps of activities and key performance indicators to achieve sustainable status with a step-by-step approach. FAO-PMP-AMR can be applied at any stage of AMR-NAPs throughout their development, implementation, and revision, by assisting countries in monitoring progress, identifying gaps between planning and implementation, and generating priority activities and relevant technical resources to improve specific areas towards higher levels of implementation.The PMP-AMR manual comprises three main parts:1. Essentials: Introduces the rationale of the PMP-AMR approach and its target audience.2. Details: Provides a detailed description of the pathways under each topic.3. Self-Assessment Process: Walks through how to apply the self-assessment process using PMP-AMR, including the organization of assessment workshops. -
Policy briefPolicy briefKey actions to curb antimicrobial resistance
Policy brief for parliamentarians
2025Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to health of people and animals, food security, and economic stability, with projections estimating 39 million human deaths between 2025 and 2050, if left unchecked. The "Key Actions to Curb Antimicrobial Resistance: Policy Brief for Parliamentarians," published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), equips parliamentarians and other legislators with actionable strategies to respond to this crisis in their countries and beyond. This policy brief outlines the escalating impact of AMR across human, animal, agricultural, and environmental sectors, driven by misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, inadequate healthcare, sub-optimal access to veterinary services, problems with agricultural practices and environmental pollution. It highlights global efforts to prevent and mitigate AMR, while identifying key challenges which remain. The policy brief offers practical recommendations on domains like strengthening laws, securing financing, multisectoral governance and raising awareness to drive national and global responses. With a One Health approach, this brief underscores the urgent need for coordinated action to safeguard public health and sustainable development and guides the parliamentarians to possible evidence-based actions and sources of standardized information on AMR from various sectors. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling antimicrobial resistance in food and agriculture 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) leads the global response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food and agriculture sectors. Its work in response to the many challenges of AMR is currently guided by the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025. This first report on FAO’s contribution to the global response to AMR outlines a wide range of activities undertaken by FAO at global, regional and country level. This report: • describes FAO’s role in the global governance of AMR; • provides an overview of progress on implementing national action plans on AMR in agrifood systems; • highlights key activities undertaken to implement the FAO Action Plan on AMR 2021–2025; and • flags key challenges and opportunities related to AMR in the food and agriculture sectors. The AMR response in the food and agriculture sectors requires more and better evidence, more informed, more widespread interventions to reduce the threat of AMR, greater resources, stronger capacity and more robust governance to ensure effective stakeholder engagement and sustained commitment and action based on the One Health approach to reduce AMU, particularly at country level.
