Moving from evidence to policy: Mitigating AMR across One Health sectors using intervention and implementation research – Webinar

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health challenge that spans human, animal, and environmental health sectors. During World AMR Awareness Week, ICARS hosted a webinar to explore how intervention and implementation research (IIR) can drive policy change in AMR. The session covered:

  • Context-specific evidence – Why it’s crucial to inform AMR policy decisions
  • Bridging the evidence-policy gap – How the ICARS model supports actionable research
  • Real-world examples – Insights from ICARS-supported projects in Benin, Georgia, and Kosovo
  • Key takeaways – Practical lessons on transforming evidence into impactful policy
