African One Health Network for Disease Prevention (ADAPT): Building capacity for sustainable antimicrobial stewardship across sub-Saharan Africa.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a predominant global health threat, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as well as the co-infection of NTDs and drug-resistant bacteria, remain a significant challenge across sub-Saharan Africa (the region with the highest rates of AMR burden globally). To best understand and intervene with AMR, it is necessary to trace the linkages and transmission between humans, animals, and the environment via a One Health approach. The mission of this project is to build capacity for the improved management of AMR and NTDs, and for the improved stewardship of antimicrobials, using a One Health approach in partnership with state, local, and regional stakeholders.
