Summary
The AMRAfrika project aims to create a comprehensive assessment model for antimicrobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR) in cattle production systems. It combines participatory data gathering methods with digital data management and online analysis tools to support decision-making. The project takes a holistic approach to AMR risk assessment, providing timely evidence on cattle disease occurrence and AMR risks at the interface of environment, plants, livestock, and humans (One-Health). This enables stakeholders to make early decisions regarding potential threats to human and environmental health from zoonotic pathogens and antimicrobial residues/resistances.
