World Antimicrobial Awareness Week

Welcome to World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2021

The CGIAR AMR Hub, led and hosted by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), is pleased to announce an upcoming virtual seminar on addressing antimicrobial awareness. This year’s global theme focuses on ‘spread awareness, stop resistance’. 

The seminar will bring together researchers from the CGIAR who have been working on addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the agricultural sector. Join us online and contribute to our understanding and management of AMR using a One Health approach. 

We look forward to your participation on the 18th November 2021
10.30am -1pm EAT

Session I: One Health approaches to AMR

This session addresses Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) using a One Health approach with three high-level speakers:

  • Jimmy Smith, director general at ILRI
  • Elywn Grainger-Jones, managing director, institutional strategy and systems and a member of the executive management team for the One CGIAR 
  • Anders Dalsgaard, scientific consultant at ICARS

Elywn Grainger-Jones, managing director, institutional strategy and systems and a member of the executive management team for the One CGIAR will share the vision on addressing AMR and filling gaps within the One CGIAR.

Anders Dalsgaard, professor and scientific consultant at ICARS will share their vision on addressing AMR in low- and middle-income countries. 

Session II: Deep Dive on AMR within CGIAR

This session takes a deep dive into the work that various CGIAR institutions have been carrying out to address the emergence and spread of AMR. This session brings all centers together to share AMR activities at the livestock, aquaculture and water sectors, and to address the gaps which exist in the crop production sectors.
