SUSTAINABILITY

EU-JAMRAI2 is committed to ensuring the long-term impact of its efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through sustainable strategies that strengthen National Action Plans (NAPs) and policies across EU Member States and Associated Countries. By embedding sustainability into our work, we promote the One Health approach, integrating human, animal and environmental health to address AMR effectively.

Our Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability Guidance Tool icon

1. Sustainability Guidance Tool

To ensure lasting outcomes, EU-JAMRAI2 has developed a Sustainability Guidance Tool that is useful throughout the joint action – in order to:

  • Guides the selection of priority outcomes for long-term impact.
  • Provides checklists of elements to consider addressing countries’ needs during implementation.
  • Embeds a policy brief template for policymakers, summarizing key findings and recommendations to inform government policy decisions.

2. Prioritizing Outcomes in National Action Plans

EU-JAMRAI2 identifies and prioritizes outcomes for integration into NAPs or policies. The initiative aims to collaborate to:

  • Engage countries in key activities to secure their commitment
  • Ensure relevant outcomes are disseminated to countries for uptake
  • Conduct surveys and focus groups to evaluate the adoption (or intent to adopt) of EU-JAMRAI2 priority outcomes in NAPs

3. Strengthening EU and Pan-EU Networks

EU JAMRAI 2 fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing to maintain outcomes at the EU and pan-EU levels. Its efforts include:

  • Facilitating continuous dialogue between countries and stakeholders to ensure long-term adoption of priority outcomes.
  • Supporting the maintenance of relevant outputs at EU and/or pan-EU level, leveraging the EU’s institutional framework.
  • Sharing best practices through the AMR One Health Network and Policy Group.

4. Sustainability Report

Ultimately EU-JAMRAI2 will deliver a Sustainability Report that:

  • Documents priority outcomes successfully integrated into national (in collaboration with JAMRAI liaisons) and EU-level policies.
  • Develops a generic sustainability plan to guide the long-term integration of selected outcomes into EU policies, with a focus on the One Health approach.

Why Sustainability Matters

By embedding sustainability into pendiits strategies, EU-JAMRAI2 ensures that efforts to combat AMR have a lasting impact. This collaborative approach strengthens networks, aligns policies, and promotes best practices, creating a resilient framework to tackle AMR across Europe and beyond.
