ReAct Africa and South Centre Annual Conference 2022 Theme: "Africa’s response to Antimicrobial Resistance: Accelerating One Health National Action Plans implementation for the next 5 years." Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global threat to public health, food security, and development today. In Africa, AMR has been documented to be a problem exacerbated by a high burden of infectious diseases and weak healthcare systems. The existential COVID-19 pandemic has further complicated the situation. The conference comes at an opportune time in July 2022. The conference offers an opportunity for retrospection where experts and key multisectoral stakeholders convene to reflect on lessons learned. The setting allows for context-specific discussions on challenges that are relatable across the region. The conference also provides a forum for sharing best practices across sectors with a one-health approach. The conference will be an opportunity to present the GRAM report results. Leveraging on experience, insights, and tools from countries, NGOs, academia, UN agencies, continental and regional agencies, CSOs, and the private sector, the conference will explore what can be done differently in the subsequent years. Presentations will include scientific poster presentations on diverse research and exhibit best practices that contribute to catalytic action for the next five years.
