This poster, presented at the World One Health Congress 2026, shares findings on integrating gender and equity into AMR research across six ICARS-supported projects in Africa and Asia.
Projects in Ghana, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand and Zimbabwe piloted the Practical Pathways framework in human and animal health settings. Technical support, capacity strengthening and cross-project learning helped teams incorporate gender and equity considerations throughout the research cycle.
Teams adapted surveys, disaggregated data and improved accessibility through measures such as simplified training materials and adjusted training schedules. These changes supported more inclusive, context-specific research. Challenges included developing meaningful monitoring indicators and working within short project timelines.
The findings highlight that integrating gender and equity into AMR research requires ongoing adaptation and dedicated support, built into project design from the outset.
