“…Intriguingly, laboratories guide clinicians on the better management of patients and provide information for infection prevention and control and diagnostic surveillance for AMS mitigation [ 51 , 52 ]. Nevertheless, like most developing countries in Africa [ 9 , 46 , 53 ], there is inadequate information in Zambia on the capacity of the local laboratories to conduct microbiological tests required for AMR surveillance.…”

“…These studies provide essential baseline data and offer valuable insights for designing interventions and policies to address the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in livestock production. Like many other LMICs [ 70 , 71 , 72 ], resource and infrastructure limitations impede the implementation of comprehensive training and awareness-raising programs among a broader range of stakeholders in Pakistan, particularly in rural areas. To address this challenge, it is necessary to systematically integrate AMR into the local and national education and training programs across all the disciplines of agrifood production.…”

The agriculture and food (agrifood) sectors play key roles in the emergence, spread, and containment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Pakistan’s first National Action Plan (NAP) on AMR was developed to guide One Health interventions to combat AMR through 2017–2022. To improve subsequent iterations, we assessed the implementation of Pakistan’s NAP in the agrifood sectors (NAPag) in October 2022, using the Progressive Management Pathway on AMR tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The assessment tool addressed four crucial focus areas of the NAPag: governance, awareness, evidence, and practices. Each focus area contains multiple topics, which involve four sequential stages of activities to progressively achieve systematic management of AMR risk in the agrifood sectors. High-level representatives of the NAPag stakeholders provided information for the assessment through pre-event documentary review and workshop discussions. The assessment results showed that Pakistan’s NAPag had an overall moderate coverage (59%) of the anticipated activities. Gaps were particularly notable in strengthening governance, good practices, and interventions in non-livestock sectors. Furthermore, only 12% of the evaluated activities were fully executed and documented, consistently remaining at the planning and piloting stages in the livestock sector across all the examined topics. Insufficient attention to non-livestock sectors, inadequate regulation and enforcement capacity, and resource constraints have hindered scalable and sustainable interventions under the current plan. This assessment provides valuable insights to strengthen the inclusiveness and contribution of the agrifood sectors in the next NAP iteration. In the short-to-medium term, strategic prioritization is necessary to optimize the use of limited resources and target the most critical gaps, such as improving awareness among key stakeholders and fortifying regulations for prudent antimicrobial use. In the long term, integration of AMR into the country’s broader health, development, and agricultural transformation agendas will be needed to generate sustainable benefits.

“…AMR is becoming an important public health problem, as illustrated by the complicated interactions involving diverse microbial populations affecting the health of humans, animals and the environment. Once the resistance capacities are developed, AMR can spread easily among these microbial populations [ 16 , 17 ]. In short, the misuse or overuse of AMs in the livestock industry is becoming a “slowly rising disaster” accelerating the emergence of AMR [ 18 ].…”
