Launch of AMR Advocacy Toolkit for Religious Actors
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly urgent global health challenge that threatens the effectiveness of essential medicines and the delivery of quality healthcare. Faith-based health providers and religious institutions have an important role to play in strengthening awareness, promoting responsible antimicrobial use, supporting infection prevention and control, and influencing policies and practices that address AMR.
Recognising the reach, influence and contribution of faith-based organisations in healthcare delivery and community engagement across Africa, EPN has developed this toolkit to strengthen the capacity of religious actors and faith-based health networks to engage in AMR advocacy and translate commitments into practical action.
The virtual launch will provide an opportunity to:
- Introduce the AMR Advocacy Toolkit for Religious Actors and its key components.
- Highlight the role of faith-based health providers and religious institutions in addressing AMR.
- Demonstrate how EPN members can use the toolkit to strengthen advocacy, community engagement and policy dialogue at country level.
- Share opportunities for members to integrate AMR advocacy into their existing health programmes and national AMR action plans.
- Encourage collective commitment and action towards addressing AMR across our networks.
