Join ReAct 20 years webinar: Research, action, community participation in addressing antibiotic resistance
On December 4th, ReAct Latin America and the ReAct global network will celebrate an important milestone: 20 years of collective work in addressing antibiotic resistance. This with a regional webinar that share and discuss the rich material produced in Latin America together with a numerous range of collaborators and stake holders. Across the globe, the ReAct network has worked for two decades with communities, researchers, artists, social leaders, and decision-makers to build a different narrative: one that places life at the center and understands health as an inseparable web of human beings, animals, plants, territories, and microorganisms.

Antibiotic resistance
In the last 70 years the use of antibiotics has been crucial in improving countless lives and drastically reducing deaths caused by bacterial infections. The increasing development of antibiotic resistance is posing a serious threat to human health and development, the environment and for animal health. Learn more about antibiotic resistance here.

Unlocking AMR Financing: Optimizing international resources for an accelerated response to antibiotic resistance
A new ReAct analysis and policy brief highlights persistent barriers that hinder countries from optimally accessing and using international financing to implement their National Action Plans on Antimicrobial Resistance. It also identifies opportunities to make global AMR financing more coherent, efficient, and accessible, and outlines pathways to strengthen global mechanisms for more coordinated and effective AMR funding.

Shaping the future of AMR evidence-based action: Insights into the IPEA founding document and consultations
2025 will be another milestone year in the development of global AMR governance. Mandated by the Political Declaration of the High-level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance at the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly in September 2024, the development of another key component to improve and accelerate global steering of the AMR response is currently underway: the Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against AMR (IPEA). Learn more about ReAct’s input in this article.
Opinion editorial
Give evidence real power: What an Independent Panel on AMR can and should do
In this Opinion Editorial, Daniel Carelli and Otto Cars highlight the urgent need for stronger evidence-based oversight in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance. As drug-resistant infections continue to rise, the authors argue that the coming Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against AMR must empower independent experts to lead and establish a strong bridge from evidence to policy and global action. Member states must act now to secure rigorous accountability, clear mandates, and transformative ambition so that evidence finally drives the response to this escalating threat.
