The Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) 2 Programme
CwPAMS 2 funds Health Partnerships between UK and African health institutions focused on strengthening antimicrobial stewardship. The programme is funded by the UK Department for Health and Social Care’s Fleming Fund, and is managed by the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) and Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA).
CwPAMS aims to leverage the expertise of UK health institutions and technical experts to strengthen the capacity of the health workforce and institutions in Commonwealth countries to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) challenges, as well as creating opportunities for bidirectional learning.
CwPAMS 2 projects are focusing on:
- Improving antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), including surveillance
- Building antimicrobial pharmacy expertise and capacity
- Enhancing infection prevention and control (IPC)
- Improving the use of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial prescribing data to inform clinical decisions
- Enhancing the detection and reporting of substandard and falsified antimicrobial medicines
- Supporting community pharmacy
Grants will start in April 2023, and running until December 2024. Projects are being carried out by both new and existing health partnerships between the UK, operating across Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
