Today (November 16th 2021) the CE4AMR network launches it's Call-to-Action on the use of Community Engagement approaches to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance.
Key messages
Community Engagement approaches facilitate the development of equitable partnerships and knowledge exchanges
This allows the generation of meaningful, sustainable and community-led solutions to AMR.
Community Engagement approaches are currently most commonly used to understand and facilitate action around:
- Human-health aspects of AMR
- Demand-side drivers of AMR.
- Infection-prevention behaviors.
Community engagement approaches can help contextualize the reasons why certain AMR-drivers and behaviors are occurring.
There is great potential for Community Engagement approaches to uncover knowledge relating to:
- How AMR develops and spreads within the environment.
- Community-level AMR surveillance.
- Optimal antimicrobial use in animal health.
- Why antimicrobial 'misuse' occurs.
