Project Title
Fleming Fund – Country and Regional Grants and Fellowship Programme
Short Description
FLEMING FUND – COUNTRY AND REGIONAL GRANTS AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME
Long Description
The Fleming Fund helps low- and middle-income countries to fight antimicrobial resistance. A management agent has been appointed to deliver: country grants in up to 24 low- and middle-income countries, regional grants in West Africa, East and Southern Africa, South Asia and South East Asia, and a global fellowships programme. These initiatives aim to improve laboratory capacity and diagnosis as well as data and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).Through the country and regional grants and the fellowships programme the Fleming Fund will: build laboratory capacity for diagnosis, collect data on drug resistance, drug quality, drug use and the burden of disease associated with AMR, enable the sharing of data relevant to AMR locally, regionally, and internationally, encourage the application of data to promote the rational use of antimicrobials, shape a sustainable system for AMR surveillance and data sharing, and increase national leadership in addressing AMR.
Additional Information
The Fleming Fund has been developed partly in response to the initial recommendations of the independent Review on Antimicrobial Resistance led by economist Jim O'Neill, which is looking broadly at the economic priorities needed to tackle drug-resistant infection. The Review is co-funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Department of Health.
