The Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has launched a groundbreaking toolkit designed to engage youth in the fight against AMR.

The "Antimicrobial Resistance Toolkit for Youth Engagement" is a collaborative effort by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).

This comprehensive toolkit provides 11 essential tools to equip youth-led networks and youth-serving organizations with the resources needed to educate and engage young people in AMR communication, education, and campaigns.¹

The toolkit aims to fill a critical gap by responding to the needs of youth-led and youth-serving organizations to engage young people more meaningfully in AMR.

By empowering youth to take action against AMR, the toolkit supports the global effort to combat this growing health threat.

The launch of this toolkit is a significant step forward in engaging young people in the fight against AMR
