A network and resource hub for researchers and practitioners using community engagement approaches to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Community Engagement for Antimicrobial Resistance (CE4AMR) is a network of researchers and practitioners who use, or are interested in using, community engagement – in particular participatory and creative approaches – to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in low and middle income countries (LMICs).  CE4AMR brings together artists, health professionals, engineers, social and environmental scientists and arts and humanities researchers to create a cross-disciplinary platform through which to share ideas, tackle research gaps and develop new skill sets to address AMR at community level.  Rather than regarding community engagement approaches as “add-ons” to research, CE4AMR views them as integral to meeting global recommendations on tackling AMR as stipulated by the World Health Organisation and country-specific AMR action plans.

CE4AMR believes that if communities are fully informed and engaged with the concept of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) then subsequent behaviour change will be meaningful and sustainable, allowing global AMR objectives to be met.
