Scaling Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Nationally: The Case of the Fleming Fund in Kenya

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to global food security, animal health, and public health. The Fleming Fund, a UK Overseas Development Aid program, aims to improve AMR surveillance data in Africa and Asia by generating, sharing, and using data. The program has awarded grants to Kenya, a country with six institutions, to strengthen its capacity to collect, manage, and use data on AMR. The data collected will impact evidence-based policies and programs, enabling informed decisions about antibiotic effectiveness.
