Global commitments on AMR
are changing
Antimicrobial resistance has generated an unprecedented amount of global attention since the launch of the Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR. Our research explores how global commitments on AMR have changed and adapted since 2015.
Learning from climate governance
The Paris Agreement successfully mobilized collective action to protect a shared global common-pool resource and mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. What are the takeaways for managing AMR?

We scale our solutions based on clients’ timelines and resources. We champion accessibility by offering dynamic pricing and subsidies for expert consulting services for LMICs.
Policy Proposal
Using our in-house expertise and working with a global network of experts, we incorporate scientific and policy engagement activities to critically examine AMR policy issues using a One Health approach. We widely disseminate the resulting research, policy findings and knowledge products to support informed AMR decision-making.
Capacity-building
Our capacity-building efforts support policy learning and research around the world. We host policy internships, fellowships, and knowledge mobilization workshops aimed at strengthening AMR capacity among policymakers and emerging leaders, with an emphasis on inviting participants from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
