One Health Governance and AMR: Conceptual Clarifications and Practical Applications, with Arne Ruckert
This is a co-sponsored event with the Dahdaleh Institute and the .
This seminar will introduce the One Health governance concept, and explore how its implementation can positively impact efforts to mitigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It will build on findings from a scoping review to identify the governance domains most relevant to applying the OH approach to the design and evaluation of AMR surveillance systems. This review found that governance is a crucial component of the development of surveillance systems equipped to tackle complex, structural issues such as AMR. The governance domains identified include participation, coordination and collaboration, management, sustainability, accountability and transparency, and equity. The seminar will also provide a case study in which this framework was applied in practice.
