Collaboration type A GCRF Challenge Cluster bringing together six research projects based across the Global South.

Aim  To synthesise learning across these projects and develop innovative research proposals which place community engagement methods at the forefront of AMR research across human, animal and environmental contexts (a One Health approach).

Problem addressed AMR is considered a One Health challenge and requires cross-sector collaboration to tackle. Although India has a National Action Plan for AMR with a focus on hospital infections and regulatory frameworks, there is less activity at community and grassroots level, including in the agricultural sector.

Focus country India
