To support this critical effort, the Mérieux Foundation and Université Paris Cité have joined their expertise and capacities to support the AMR-GAP by designing a course to address concretely -from plan to action- the five objectives of the AMR-WHO-GAP. Together, the Mérieux Foundation and Université Paris Cité propose a residential intensive training course on AMR in a One Health perspective, principally targeting audiences from low- and middle-income countries.
The course advocates for the value of the One Health approach to fight against AMR and builds capacity for critical decision-making in low-and middle-income countries through education, partnerships and networks.
The program is based on the five WHO-AMR-GAP objectives (one objective per day):
- Day 1: The role of antibiotics and the current challenges – improving awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance
- Day 2: Strengthen knowledge and evidence through monitoring & surveillance
- Day 3: Multi-sectoral Interventions to tackle AMR
- Day 4: Optimize the use of antimicrobial medicines in human and animal health
- Day 5: Social sciences, regulation and the economic case for global sustainable investment to tackle AMR
