An African One Health network for antimicrobial resistance and neglected tropical diseases

International health and development projects have commonly included the transfer of knowledge and research capacities from countries in the global north to the those in the global south. However, local capacity, self-sufficiency and autonomy have not always been fostered in such knowledge and development transfers. Disease prevention and management for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) — a major global health threat — and for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a challenge across sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the highest prevalence of AMR globally.
