Synopsis (short abstract) Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a grave threat to human health and economic development[1]. Countries are at different stages in responding to the growing threat posed by AMR. Some countries, including many European countries, have experience with AMR policies in human and agricultural sectors for more than two decades. Others have only recently acted to contain AMR. WHO, FAO, OIE developed a Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP) in 2015 as a cross-sectoral approach to combatting AMR. All countries approved the GAP and agreed to adopt National Action Plans on AMR by 2017. The Tripartite Organisations have developed a framework for monitoring and evaluation to assist with the achievement of GAP, and created a national self-assessment survey containing questions structured around the objectives of the GAP. The first wave of this survey was sent to WHO’s 194 member countries in late-2016. The survey instrument was subsequently revised and a second wave was initiated in late-2017. In this report, we analyze countries’ responses to the second wave of the tripartite survey and describe the current level of global progress on AMR. We convey progress achieved towards the goals of the GAP across WHO regions and across country income groups to identify differences in progress and explore progress in relation to key agricultural sector indicators to examine whether the presence of a strong agricultural sector impacts progress made towards One Health goals at the national level.

    The global analysis report of the annual Tripartite AMR country self-assessment survey (TrACSS) is a component of a broader approach for monitoring and evaluating the global action plan on antimicrobial resistance (GAP-AMR). This report summarizes global responses from the fourth round of the TrACSS, held from November 2019 to July 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the response rates for the 2019–2020 TrACSS around were 11.8% lower than the previous year. A total of 136 (70.1%) countries out of 194 WHO Member States responded to the 2019–2020 TrACSS, compared to 159 out of 194 (81.9%) in 2018–2019.

    Monitoring and evaluation of the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance: proposed approach 2017

    This is the draft WHO OIE FAO Tripartite draft Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for the Global Action Plan (GAP) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). The GAP sets out responsibilities and expectations for national governments, for the Tripartite, as well as for other national and international partners in responding to the threat of AMR. To ensure action is being taken in response, and to evaluate whether those actions are achieving the intended results, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) i s required. The AMR M&E framework has been developed by FAO, OIE and WHO. The intention of the M&E framework is to ensure a coherent and streamlined approach that will provide information for management and decision-making on AMR in the coming years. It covers both monitoring of the process of GAP implementation and evaluating the results in terms of expected outcomes and impact on AMR; it also proposed indicators than can be used to measure outputs and outcomes of the activity undertaken at a national and global level.
