ICARS’ mission is to partner with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to co-develop practical, sustainable solutions that advance the implementation of country priorities and National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR.
Our work depends on close collaboration with our country partners. Their guidance helps ensure that ICARS’ efforts remain relevant, responsive, and impactful.
To strengthen these relationships and encourage long-term, strategic collaboration, we invite country governments that support ICARS’ vision and are committed to mitigating AMR nationally, regionally and globally to join us as Mission Partners.
Mission Partners are trusted advisors and valued peers in a growing network of countries dedicated to addressing AMR in a sustainable and coordinated way.
As a Mission Partner, countries are invited to engage in:
A forum that brings together Strategic Funding Partners, Funding Partners, Mission Partners, and Implementation Partners to exchange experiences, share lessons, and explore opportunities for progress on AMR globally. The meeting provides space for dialogue on the international AMR agenda and is chaired by ICARS’ Executive Director.
To facilitate knowledge transfer and cross-country learning, Mission Partners are invited to ICARS-hosted events and activities virtually and in person. These events convene governments and other stakeholders to exchange challenges, successes, and solutions, advancing joint action on AMR.
ICARS provides training and support to different stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation and sustainability of AMR solutions. While priority is given to researchers and individuals involved in ICARS-supported projects, Mission Partners are also a focus for these capacity-strengthening initiatives.
ICARS is proud to unite countries working to mitigate AMR, and as a Mission Partner we highlight this shared commitment in our communications on our social media channels, in policy briefs and more. We also invite project and Mission Partners to speak and share experiences in webinars, technical conferences and high-level policy forums.
As the supreme governing body of ICARS, the Board of Directors holds strategic responsibility for ICARS and provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise to support our mission. Mission Partners from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are invited on a rotating basis to take a seat on our Board of Directors to ensure LMIC representation and perspectives on ICARS’ mission and work.
In return, we ask Mission Partners to sign a Statement of Support that reflects our shared values and commitments:
There are no financial obligations for Mission Partners. Where possible, we welcome in-kind support to strengthen collaboration and collective impact.
By joining the ICARS network as a Mission Partner, countries have the chance to exchange experiences and learnings with other dedicated countries, strengthen capacity and advocacy initiatives, and contribute to the collective mission of reducingAMR worldwide.
