Comprehensive review of the WHO Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance : Evaluation brief – September 2021" />

The Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP AMR) provides a framework of actions across five objectives for three stakeholder groups (Member States, the Secretariat and national/international partners) to take over the next five to ten years, and for countries to develop national action plans. The purpose of the comprehensive review was to enhance current work on AMR. Based on the five primary objectives of the GAP AMR, the review documented successes, challenges and best practices, and provided lessons learned and recommendations for use by WHO and other GAP AMR stakeholders to guide future implementation and inform decision-making. Its scope was set by the GAP AMR, covering not just antibiotic but also antimicrobial resistance and considering all stakeholders through a WHO lens.
