  2. Transformation of the human health, animal health, food, plant and environment eco-systems.
  3. Improved surveillance and monitoring of antimicrobial use and resistance across all sectors. 
  4. Increased mobilization of internal and external financial resources, with a focus on low-and-middle income countries.
