Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideThe FAO Progressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance
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. -
Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapThe FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025
Supporting innovation and resilience in food and agriculture sectors
2021Due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), drug-resistant infections are placing an ever-increasing burden on human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Drug-resistant infections have the potential to become leading causes of death. AMR may force tens of millions more people into extreme poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and the associated economic losses are projected at several percent of gross domestic product. However, we can prevent this from happening – if we act quickly. This document outlines the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025 which serves as a roadmap for focusing global efforts to address AMR in the food and agriculture sectors. The aim of this plan is to help accelerate progress in developing and implementing multi-sectoral National Action Plans to tackle AMR by calling attention to strategic priorities and areas of expertise for FAO support. The action plan was developed by a multidisciplinary FAO team to ensure that all relevant dimensions – including terrestrial and aquatic animal health and production, crop production, food and feed safety, genetic resources, natural resource management, risk communication, and behavior change - are considered, with attention to regulatory frameworks, standards, norm-setting and bottom-up processes of collective action. By working together, food systems, livelihoods, and economies will be better protected from the destabilizing forces of untreatable illness. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEngaging agrifood systems to generate data-for-action in tackling antimicrobial resistance
Addressing antimicrobial resistance through a One Health approach in Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and South-East Asia
2023Also available in:
No results found.This document provides an overview of the 'Engaging Agrifood Systems to Generate Data-for-Action in Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance' project. Its goal is to create an enabling environment for data generation by raising awareness and generating pilot evidence. Additionally, the project aims to identify priority areas for strengthening AMR-relevant governance and piloting targeted good practices. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a natural phenomenon, but the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in human health and agrifood industries worsen it. In order to make effective decisions at all levels of the food, agriculture, and environment sectors, it is necessary to have more data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), antimicrobial use (AMU), and antimicrobial consumption (AMC). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working to address the challenges underlying data limitations on AMR, AMU, AMC, and antimicrobial residues. With significant support from the Fleming Fund, the project is expected to contribute significantly to global efforts to tackle the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance.
