Synopsis (short abstract) The Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP) is the world’s blueprint for tackling the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which threatens many of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on health, food security, environmental wellbeing and socio-economic development. Adopted by the membership of WHO, FAO and OIE in 2015, the GAP was further endorsed in 2016 during the 71st session of the UN General Assembly. The framework for monitoring and evaluation of the GAP aims to provide a manageable system to assess the success of the GAP and inform operational and strategic decision making on AMR for the next five to ten years. This framework will enhance the availability and quality of data, consolidate data collection and reporting requirements – especially for human health – and increase accountability. Rooted in experience and expertise across diverse sectors, this initiative will also underpin the forthcoming global development and stewardship framework for AMR.

The M&E framework provides a recommended list of indicators to be compiled at:

  • country level, through primary AMR data collection systems (i.e. WHO’s Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System, OIE’s global AMU data collection initiative and the Tripartite AMR Country Self-Assessment Survey); and
  • global level, from secondary sources (e.g. SDG reporting on safe water or WHO/UNICEF estimates of immunization coverage).

    • Multiple sectors stand to benefit from the framework, including:

    • staff implementing AMR National Action Plans;
    • international partner agencies working on AMR and related activities;
    • advisors to national officials on AMR M&E systems; and
    • international development and funding institutions.

    The response to the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis has been spearheaded through the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP-AMR), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 in close collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and formally endorsed by the three organizations' governing bodies and by the Political Declaration of the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on AMR in 2016. In 2022, the three organizations officially became the Quadripartite, adding the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to the Alliance "to accelerate the coordination strategy for human, animal and ecosystem health." By adopting the GAP-AMR, countries agreed to develop National Action Plans (NAPs) aligned with the GAP-AMR to mainstream AMR interventions nationally. This country M&E guidance document was developed as a reference for countries to support the development and delivery of AMR NAPs. It assists in establishing an M&E plan for their AMR NAP, building on existing national reporting systems and recommended indicators from the GAP-AMR M&E framework.

It provides information of where to find further information and is primarily aimed at informing the audiences of the governing bodies of hte three organizations, ie the World Health Assembly, OIE General Assembly and FAO conference of this work and the outcome of this first survey. As second survey will be initated later this year.

    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.
