Tripartite AMR Country Self-Assessment Survey (TrACSS) 2018-2019
Global monitoring of country progress on addressing antimicrobial resistance
Overview
The Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) was adopted in 2015 by all countries through decisions in the World Health Assembly, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Governing Conference and the World Assembly of World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Delegates. Countries agreed to have a national action plan on AMR that is consistent with the Global Action Plan, and to implement relevant policies and plans to prevent, control and monitor AMR.
Two rounds (2016/17 and 2017/18) of monitoring country progress on AMR in line with the Global Action Plan have taken place, with responses reported in 2017 and 2018. All responses can be accessed in the open tripartite database.
This third round of the monitoring questionnaire has been modified from the first and second round to incorporate lessons learned. Additional questions have been added to collect information related to the core global indicators which are part of the Tripartite M&E Framework for the global action plan on antimicrobial resistance.. The information from this questionnaire was used for the report to the seventy-second World Health Assembly in May 2019 and for an analysis included in the Global Report on AMR by the UN Secretary-General at the seventy-fourth session of the UN General Assembly in 2019.
Each country was asked to submit one official response, validated by all involved sectors, which summarises national progress. The national responses were submitted using the online questionnaire. One access key was sent through WHO to the Ministry of Health, to ensure only one version of the questionnaire was submitted per country. For inclusion in global reporting, responses were requested by 15 February 2019.
The questionnaire was developed jointly between WHO, FAO and OIE, with WHO coordinating this annual global monitoring process. Links to the surveys used in other reporting years are provided below.
Information on the process for completing the questionnaire is available in the guidance note below.
