The World Health Organization (WHO) has opened an online consultation on the establishment of the One Health Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance, the Leadership Group as recommended by the United Nations ad hoc Interagency Coordination Group (IACG) on Antimicrobial Resistance.
 
This past September, the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General submitted a report to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on the progress of implementation of the UN High-level Political Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) that was adopted in 2016. The Secretary-General called on the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), known as the Tripartite Organizations, to establish a joint secretariat and to define the modalities of implementation of the required institutional and governance arrangements to drive the global response to AMR. WHO is currently chairing the secretariat.
 
A public web-based consultation process on the terms of reference for the proposed Global Leaders Group was launched on 9 October and will be receiving feedback until the 8^th of November.
 
The guiding questions for the consultation are the following:
 

• Accountability: Who should the group be accountable to?
• Measure of success: What is the perceived ideal measure of success for the group?
• Key Performance Indicators: What should be the Key Performance Indicators of the group?
• Value proposition for members of the group: What are the incentives to attract experienced and high-level leaders?
• Prioritization: How should the group prioritize its functions?

 
The WHO consultation will be open until November 8^th. The feedback is to be submitted here: https://www.who.int/antimicrobial-resistance/interagency-coordination-group/public-discussion-leaders-group/en/.
