The first regional workshop took place from June 8th – June 10th for the South Asia region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). A total of 135 participants registered for the event – of which 117 participated on Day 1, and 97 each on Days 2 and 3 – including country stakeholders, regional experts, and consortium members. The workshop included presentations from speakers on topics ranging from the genomics behind the emergence and spread of AMR, to the role of AMR data quality to support formulation of evidence-based policy/actions, to the unique challenges faced by LMICs in AMR policy-making. It was also a forum for discussion on topics related to AMR, including the inclusion and prioritization of different types of data and approaches to effective data-sharing and analysis.

RADAAR hosted the second workshop on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data-sharing and analysis for the region of Africa, involving Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, from 29 th June – 1 st July. A total of 245 participants registered for the event – of which 172 participated on Day 1, 129 on Day 2, and 124 on Day 3 – including country stakeholders, regional experts, and consortium members. The workshop included presentations from speakers on topics ranging from the African experience of capacity development in genomic sequencing for AMR, to the enablers and barriers to collaborative development and implementation of AMR control policy, to collecting/ and analyzing AMR/AMC data and lessons learned in Africa, and country perspectives. The workshop facilitated discourse on how best to improve the visibility of AMR, so that it is put on the political mandate, and highlighted the importance of building public and political awareness of the issue.
