WHAT WE DO

ReAct addresses antibiotic resistance on a broad agenda driven by a strategic focus on the complex interaction of factors driving resistance. ReAct aims to create, support and integrate both bottom-up and top-down processes by bringing partners together, catalyzing action and helping to shape processes at several levels in society depending on contexts.

Promoting Innovation

ReAct works to influence the process of innovation of health products to manage antibiotic resistance. This work also includes shepherding the development of new funding mechanisms as well as re-engineering the R&D pipeline in order to create an enabling environment for novel, reliable, and affordable drugs, diagnostics and vaccines.

Increasing the Visibility of Antibiotic Resistance

One of ReAct's central missions is to place and maintain antibiotic resistance on the global health agenda, aiming to make stakeholders at all levels aware of the urgency of the situation.

Evidence Generation

ReAct seeks to fill the vital knowledge-gaps and to uncover the actual costs of ABR. We work in different ways with a variety of partners to increase the generation of essential data on the use of antibiotics as well as on the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria.

Promoting Rational Use of Antibiotics

ReAct works to promote rational use of antibiotics in the broad sense, including training activities aimed at health professionals, advocacy and work with other organizations to develop and implement guidelines and best practices. Moreover, we advocate for better access to affordable and effective antibiotics in areas with limited resources.

Rapid Response

A key feature of ReAct's work has been the high adaptability and capacity to quickly respond to opportunities and trends as they arise. This allows the network to explore both planned new activities and capture unforeseen possibilities.
