Tripartite AMR Country Self-Assessment Survey (TrACSS) 2017-2018

Overview

The Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) was adopted in 2015 by all countries through decisions in the World Health Assembly, the FAO Governing Conference and the World Assembly of 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.

A first round of monitoring on country progress with implementing the Global Action Plan took place in late 2016-early 2017. This progress was reported back to the World Health Assembly and the OIE World Assembly of Delegates in May 2017. Going forward, country responses were used to guide follow up actions and provision of assistance and support. The 2017-2018 questionnaire is slightly modified from the version used during the first round of monitoring, taking into account suggestions provided by countries. Links to the questionnaires used in other reporting years are provided below. Results from all reporting years are available in the  online tripartite database.

Guidance on the process for completing the questionnaire and other issues is available below. It is important that countries involve a multi-sectoral group in assessing national progress and provide consolidated responses agreed by all. Many countries have found that the process of completing the questionnaire is a useful review of progress for the National Action Plan (NAP) implementation team.

Each country was asked to submit one official response, validated by all involved sectors, which summarises national progress. The national response was submitted using the online questionnaire. One access was sent through WHO to the Ministry of Health, to ensure only one version of the questionnaire per country.
