The Global Leaders Group (GLG) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) was established in November 2020 by the Quadripartite organizations (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, UN Environment Programme, World Health Organization, and World Organisation for Animal Health,) to accelerate political action on AMR, based on a One Health approach. The GLG is co-chaired by Their Excellencies Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh and Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley of Barbados. In line with the GLG Terms of Reference, the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on Antimicrobial Resistance is soliciting a call for expressions of interest from serving or former ministers and/or senior government officials serving in their individual capacities and representatives from foundations, civil society organizations and the private sector to fill vacant positions on the Global Leaders Group.
Since its establishment, the GLG has actively carried out its mission to advise on and advocate for political action in the global response to AMR, guided by a rolling action plan with six priority areas and key performance indicators. Further information about the work of the GLG is available at https://www.amrleaders.org/resources.
