Our Mission
About us · Our mission

Contain antimicrobial
resistance, sustainably.

Through intersectoral action, scaled-up health interventions and empowered communities. That is our mission, and every project, paper and training we deliver serves it.

Resistant bacteria · culture
Why it matters

The Sustainable Development Goals call for global health and security by 2030. Antimicrobial resistance threatens all of it. Many patients in Africa still lack timely, adequate diagnostics. Without local evidence, infections are treated blindly and resistance spreads unseen.

Our objectives

One Health, four objectives.

We study how microbes move and interact across the One Health triad, so that action can be taken where it counts.

Promote

Sustainable health for people, animals and the environment.

Prevent

Disease, by detecting resistant bacteria before they spread.

Preserve

The effectiveness of the antibiotics we still have.

Sustain

Development, by protecting the health that economies depend on.
