This poster, originally presented at the World One Health Congress in 2024, shares plans for integrating gender and equity in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) interventions and implementation research in low- and middle income countries (LMICs).
Project overview
Five human and animal health projects will integrate a gender and equity lens by piloting the Practical Pathways document and receiving one-on-one support from a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on gender and equity. The initiative anticipates that the projects will adopt gender sensitive and/or gender responsive approaches in their workplans.
Overall the initiative will:
- Pilot the Practical Pathways document,
- Inform future research on how a gender and equity lens can improve the implementation of context-specific AMR interventions to enhance project uptake and sustainability,
- Help to demonstrate the social and cultural complexities when developing and implementing AMR intervention research,
- Document and communicate lessons learned to help understand how a gender and equity lens can be integrated into SMR research in human and animal health settings,
- Inform further scale-up of the Practical Pathways document.
