Sustainable Impact and AMR Interventions
Developing a Resource Guide and Toolkit for Sustainable AMR Solutions
Project Summary
The Sustainable Impact and AMR Project is a multi-country research initiative commissioned by the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) and funded by the Wellcome Trust to strengthen the long-term sustainability of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Led by One Health and Development Initiative (OHDI) in collaboration with Ducit Blue Foundation, KNUST, and Ajisefini Consulting, the project develops a practical, evidence-based Resource Guide and Toolkit for integrating sustainability into AMR programs. Grounded in the One Health approach, the initiative engages researchers and practitioners to improve AMR project design, implementation, evaluation, and continuity, supporting resilient systems for sustained AMR prevention and control.
