Embedding Gender and Equity in Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Policy and Surveillance - Insights from Kenya
A policy analysis exploring how well gender, equity, and social context are integrated into Kenya’s AMR National Action Plan, strategic documents, and facility-level surveillance tools – using an intersectional gender and equity framework and drawing lessons from Uganda as a comparative case. The resource finds that while Kenya’s AMR strategy is technically strong biomedically, gender and equity are only lightly reflected in policy framing, governance participation, monitoring, and data systems (which often capture only basic demographics). It outlines why stronger gender- and equity-responsive governance and surveillance would improve accountability, relevance, and fairness in AMR responses.
