From evidence to action
At ICARS, our mission is to partner with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in their efforts to reduce drug-resistant infections.
We do this by co-developing tailored solutions with LMIC governments and researchers, who then implement them on the ground using ICARS funding and expertise, building on AMR National Action Plans.

ICARS Strategy 2022 – 2026
Guided by our vision of a world without drug-resistant infections, we have developed a new strategy with a revised outcome framework and refined the scope and goals of each of our interconnected pillars.
