København S

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and in particular bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an urgent public health problem that is causing an estimated 1.3 million annual deaths globally. Its response has gained traction on the global political and public agendas in recent years. Using the Global Action Plan on AMR as a blueprint, 140 countries have developed National Action Plans (NAPs) for the mitigation of AMR in 2021. This is a significant achievement and a sign of increasing awareness about the threat of AMR as the next pandemic. However, only 32 countries (including only 7 LMICs) are actively implementing and monitoring their NAPs.

Born out of a dialogue between the Danish Government and the World Bank, the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) became a self-governing organisation in November 2021. ICARS further launched its first projects in 2021 with a mission to develop evidence-based, context-specific solutions to mitigate AMR across the human, veterinary, agriculture and environment sectors taking a One Health approach. Working in partnership with LMICs, Quadripartite Agencies on AMR (FAO, OIE, UNEP and WHO), and other stakeholders, ICARS uses Intervention and Implementation Research to support LMICs in implementing their National Action Plans on AMR.

ICARS now seeks to appoint its first Executive Director to lead the organisation through its next stage of development. This is a critical time for AMR and ICARS and the Executive Director will take the lead in setting the strategic direction ensuring ICARS becomes independently funded and grow significantly to become a critical player in the global AMR response architecture. ICARS will significantly expand its outreach and research projects and the Executive Director will be a driver of this growth and oversee significant change and opportunity.
