Practical Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) guidance for the region, aligned to the regional preparedness framework and the 7-1-7 target.

Brief This Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) resource supports the HEPRR-MPA programme in the region. It consolidates the practical knowledge teams need — standards, worked steps and the measurement that keeps the work honest — into a single citable, machine-readable record. Every element is mapped to the regional results architecture so that progress on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) can be planned, delivered and compared across the eleven MPA countries, and so that technical assistance is routed to where it adds the most value. The resource is designed to be adapted locally without losing regional comparability, and links to the country knowledge pages, the technical repository and the learning centre so that a reader can move from evidence to action in a few clicks. It forms part of the open, curated record that ECSA-HC maintains for the region — free to explore, cite and reuse under an open licence.

Purpose

This resource strengthens Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) capability in the region by turning regional standards into something a team can act on this quarter.

Alignment to the 7-1-7 target

Every recommendation is justified by its contribution to detecting within 7 days, notifying within 1, and responding within 7.

How to use it

Adapt the locally-flexible elements to your context, keep the fixed regional standards intact, and record progress against the shared indicators so it reaches the regional dashboard.
