Guidance to facilitate monitoring and evaluation for antimicrobial resistance national action plans

Quadripartite: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO; UN Environment Programme UNEP; World Health Organization WHO; World Organisation for Animal Health WAHO (2023) CC

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global human, animal, plant and environment health threat that needs to be addressed by every country. The impacts of AMR are wide-ranging in terms of human health, animal health, food security and safety, environmental effects on ecosystems and biodiversity, and ...socioeconomic development. Just like the climate crisis, AMR poses a significant threat to the delivery of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The response to the AMR crisis has been spearheaded through the global action plan on antimicrobial resistance (GAP-AMR), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015, in close collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and formally endorsed by the three organizations’ governing bodies and by the Political Declaration of the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on AMR in 2016. In 2022, the three organizations officially became the Quadripartite by welcoming the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) into the alliance “to accelerate coordination strategy on human, animal and ecosystem health”. The aim of the GAP-AMR is to ensure the continuity of successful treatment with effective and safe medicines. Its strategic objectives include: • improving the awareness and understanding of AMR; • strengthening the knowledge and evidence base through surveillance and research; • reducing the incidence of infection through effective sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention measures; optimizing the use of antimicrobial medicines in human and animal health; and • developing the economic case for sustainable investment that takes account of the needs of all countries and increasing investment in new medicines, diagnostic tools, vaccines and other interventions. With the adoption of the GAP-AMR, countries agreed to develop national action plans (NAPs) aligned with the GAP-AMR to mainstream AMR interventions nationally. Individually, the Quadripartite took action to advance AMR interventions in their respective sectors. FAO adopted a resolution on AMR recognizing that it poses an increasingly serious threat to public health and sustainable food production, and developed an AMR action plan to support the resolution’s implementation. For its part, WOAH developed a strategy on AMR aligned with the GAP-AMR, acknowledging the importance of a One Health approach to AMR. Similarly, more recently, UNEP’s governing body, the United Nations Environment Assembly, recognized that AMR is a current and increasing threat and a challenge to global health, food security and the sustainable development of all countries, and welcomed the GAP-AMR and the NAPs developed in accordance with its five overarching strategic objectives more

Politique Nationale De La Sante Communautaire

Ministère de la Santé, République Bénin (2015) C2

Depuis plus de trois décennies, le Bénin a souscrit à l’approche des soins de santé primaires telle que définie à la conférence d’Alma-Ata (1978) et renforcée par l’Initiative de Bamako (1987). Le pays a mis en oeuvre diverses expériences de soins de santé au niveau communautaire ...avec l’appui des Partenaires Techniques et Financiers (PTF) et la participation des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) et les Organisations Communautaires de Base (OCB). Celles-ci ont contribué à l’amélioration de l’offre des services de santé, malgré l’absence d’une politique coordonnée devant servir de cadre institutionnel à la santé communautaire. A l’étape actuelle du processus de mise en oeuvre de diverses expériences pilotes d’actions communautaires, le Ministère de la Santé s’est engagé dans une réflexion visant l’élaboration d’une politique nationale de santé communautaire. Celle-ci devra servir à encadrer la mise à l’échelle des interventions communautaires qui ont démontré leur efficacité et leur impact sur les populations cibles. Cette réflexion a entraîné la tenue du forum national sur la santé communautaire en Novembre 2013 à Cotonou. Le document de Politique de Santé Communautaire s’arrime au Plan National de Développement Sanitaire à travers lequel le Bénin ambitionne de « disposer en 2025 d’un système de santé performant basé sur des initiatives publiques et privées, individuelles et collectives, pour l’offre et la disponibilité permanente de soins de qualité, équitable et accessible aux populations de toutes catégories, fondées sur les valeurs de solidarité et de partage du risque pour répondre à l’ensemble des besoins de santé du peuple béninois » Dans le présent document, il est défini une vision, des priorités et des stratégies pour les dix prochaines années en santé communautaire. La principale innovation réside dans la conception et la mise en place au niveau de chaque village et quartier de ville de la composante locale du système national de santé (CoLoSS) en partenariat avec toutes les parties prenantes. Le document précise les conditions requises et les mesures d’accompagnement pour la réussite de la nouvelle politique dans le sens de l’autonomisation (empowerment) progressive des populations. more
