One Health Antimicrobial Resistance
Overview
The document is the 'One Health Antimicrobial Resistance National Action Plan 2.0 (2024-2028)' of Nigeria, published by the Federal Ministries of Agriculture and Food Security; Environment; and Health and Social Welfare. It outlines Nigeria's commitment to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) over the next five years, building on the achievements and addressing gaps from the NAP 1.0 (2017-2023). The plan emphasizes a multisectoral One Health approach, covering human, animal, and environmental health. It includes strategic objectives, an operational plan, monitoring and evaluation framework, and a budget. Key sections: foreword, acknowledgements, abbreviations, executive summary, development process, introduction, situational analysis, governance framework, strategic plan, SWOT analysis, operational plan, M&E framework, costing, and annexes. The plan calls for collaboration across ministries, development partners, private sector, and civil society. It aligns with other national strategies like the Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and the National Policy on AMR. The goal is to contain AMR through prudent antimicrobial use, infection prevention, and improved diagnostics.
