'When global health meets global goals': assessing the alignment between antimicrobial resistance and sustainable development policies in 10 African and Asian countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sustainable development goals (SDGs) may play a pivotal role in mitigating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study examines how countries can integrate AMR mitigation with sustainable development strategies, providing evidence on the prioritisation of AMR-related efforts within both agendas.

Methods

We conducted a comparative analysis of the international global action plan (GAP) and national action plan (NAP) on AMR and SDGs across 10 countries in Africa and Asia. We employed content analysis to map actions to AMR drivers, descriptive statistics to summarise the coverage and focus of the actions and inferential statistics to explore factors associated with the level of policy alignment.

Results

Our findings highlight gaps in the current AMR policy lands
