Purpose of consultancy To contribute to the development of AMR curriculum assessment tools for pharmacy and nursing education; and to support youth engagement and AMR awareness-raising activities. Background Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is recognized as one of the top ten global threats
fueled by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials
as well as lack of access to appropriate treatments for infections. These factors contribute to the rise of drug-resistant pathogens
posing serious challenges to public health and global development. Health workers play a crucial role in preventing AMR and managing drug-resistant infections. To equip future health workers with the necessary skills and knowledge
robust pre-service training is essential. WHO has published several normative documents outlining AMR core competencies and curricula tailored for different health worker cadres. The proposed curriculum assessment tools are meant to facilitate a rapid assessment of the curricula
in a national or university context
for training pharmacists. As part of the Quadripartite collaboration
WHO is leading on several youth engagement initiatives on AMR. Key initiatives include the Quadripartite Working Group on Youth Engagement for AMR and AMR Toolkit for Youth Engagement. Expanding and strengthening these initiatives is essential to mobilizing more young people
youth-led networks and youth-serving organizations
empowering them to play an active role in the response to AMR. WHO also leads several other awareness raising initiatives and advocacy mechanisms on AMR. These are meant to increase awareness and understanding of AMR among critical stakeholder groups and stimulate action by decision-makers. Deliverables Deliverable 1: A draft AMR curriculum assessment tool for pharmacy education produced
based on review of pharmacy curricula in at least 5 countries
publications on AMR-related core competencies of pharmacists and peer reviewed publications and reports in this regard. The draft tool should be improved based on feedback from relevant WHO departments and regional offices. Expected by: 31 May 2025 Deliverable 2: Global experts on AMR and pharmacy education identified
and external contributors recruited following assessment of declaration of interests. At least two rounds of feedback should be collected from the external contributors on the draft AMR Curriculum Assessment Tool for Pharmacy Education. Expected by 30 June 2025 Deliverable 3: Revised curriculum assessment tool for pharmacy education
based on a peer-review process
including at least two peer reviewers for each tool. Expected by: 31 July 2025 Deliverable 4: Reports of country piloting of the curriculum assessment tool for pharmacy education. Country pilot planned in consultation with the respective WHO Regional and Country offices. The pilot should include a mapping of universities for piloting the tool and curriculum assessment workshops conducted in those universities using the tool. Expected by: 31 August 2025 Deliverable 5: Revised curriculum assessment tools for pharmacy education
based on feedback and insights collected during the piloting process
through key informant interviews with relevant faculty members at the universities
and in alignment with WHO standards. Expected by: 30 September 2025 Deliverable 6: At least 5 WHO Country Offices sensitized about the AMR curriculum assessment tools
