The Livestock Antimicrobial Partnership (LAMP) is an action network that works with tackling microbial resistance by drawing on practical experience and knowledge from its partners in different parts of the world.

An action network for sustainable livestock

LAMP is an action network within the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL), which is a partnership that brings together different stakeholders in the livestock sector to tackle antimicrobial resistance. The network is hosted by SLU Global.

In the livestock sector, intergovernmental organisations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and the World Bank, have all overarching activities relating to policies and regulations in order to curb the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance.  As a complement, the LAMP within the Global Agenda brings together different stakeholders in the livestock sector to tackle antimicorbial resistance by drawing on practical experience and knowledge from its partners in different parts of the world.Logotype for gasl, illustration.

Facts:

Livestock Antimicrobial Partnership, LAMP, is an Action Network within the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock and has its secretariat at SLU Global in Uppsala, Sweden.

On October 5th, 2016, the UN General Assembly adopted a UN Resolution on Antimicrobial Resistance. This political declaration calls upon WHO, FAO and OIE, other relevant UN agencies, development banks and international organisations and other relevant stakeholders across different sectors, to coordinate their planning and actions under a One-Health approach. LAMP contributes to this work by addressing antimicrobial resistance by healthy and productive livestock by promoting medically rational use of antimicrobials.
