The Fleming Fund programme is a 5-year, large scale (£235m) and complex fund management programme which operates in over 20 LMIC countries.
The aim of the programme is to address critical gaps in surveillance of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Countries in these areas are set to bear the highest burden of antibiotic resistant infections. Led by the UK, political action against the problem has resulted in a roadmap for global response - the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) This is the blueprint for a multi-stakeholder global response to averting the burden of AMR.
