AMR Surveillance Advisor Job in Nigeria Recruiting by MSH

About the project:

The Fleming Fund aims to respond to the global threat of drug-resistant infections, also known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of the Fleming Fund’s program of country, regional, and fellowship grants, managed by Mott MacDonald, is to improve the ability of Fleming Fund countries to diagnose drug-resistant bacteria, generate data, and strengthen surveillance to inform policy and practice at national and international levels.

During Phase I, support has been provided to > 200 surveillance sites in Africa and Asia. About two-thirds of these have been in the human health sector with the remainder being in animal health, veterinary services, food safety, and environment laboratories. Phase II of the Fleming Fund is set to provide further support to Fleming Fund countries. Investing in similar areas, the program focuses on four outcomes:

• Production of quality AMR/U/C and burden data

• Quality analyses of data

• Promoting sustainable investment to counter AMR
