This week, phase 2 Fleming Fund Fellows from Tanzania participated in a dynamic four-day workshop in Lusaka, Zambia, on AMR communication and policy brief development. Hosted by ASLM in collaboration with @reactgroup, the workshop equipped fellows with the skills to translate AMR data into impactful policy recommendations.
Through hands-on training, they developed policy briefs, advocacy materials and performed role plays to engage policymakers and stakeholders in AMR governance effectively. By deepening their understanding of AMR policy frameworks at global, regional, and national levels, these fellows are now better positioned to drive evidence-based decision-making in Tanzania and beyond!
