The Management Sciences for Health NAP Antimicrobial Resistance Development Consultant Jobs in Nigeria

Background

The government of Nigeria approved the establishment of Nigeria’s national one-health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) coordinating body at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on November 26, 2016. This was after the WHO’s Joint External Evaluation assessment conducted in June 2016; Nigeria was rated as having limited capacity (level 2 – “limited capacity”) for all indicators in the AMR technical areas.

Following this, a national AMR Technical Working Group (AMR-TWG) was created that comprised stakeholders from the human health, animal health, food animal production, and environment sectors. The Antimicrobial Resistance Coordinating Committee (AMRCC) oversees the activities of the national one-health AMR-TWG.

Nigeria developed her five-year one-health national action plan (NAP) on AMR in 2017 in line with the 2015 world health assembly’s recommendation. This plan includes well-defined strategic objectives for a coordinated AMR response involving human and animal health, the environment, and the agro-food sectors, and has been implemented in the last five years.

In view of these, the AMRCC with support from WHO and MTaPS, will be engaging a consultant to develop the 2023-2028 One-health national action plan on AMR. This aims to provide a whole of government response to tackle AMR and would require coordinated effort between numerous stakeholders including (but not limited to) international partners, government counterparts as well as regulatory agencies.
