This national event formally launched the NIAMR project and opened its first structured community engagement. It was designed as more than a ceremony — a national strategic dialogue on the future of integrated AMR surveillance in Uganda, combining opening remarks from national and international leaders, a project overview from the research team, the official launch, and four sector-based breakout sessions to gather community and stakeholder requirements.
Purpose
- Formally launch NIAMR within Uganda's AMR, digital-health, One Health and health-security priorities.
- Open stakeholder dialogue on interoperability, governance and sustainability for integrated AMR surveillance.
- Strengthen stakeholder engagement, partnership and national ownership of the platform.
