Nothing for us, without us! Community Health Promoters are the first line of response to community health needs in Kenya and they must be at the heart of efforts to tackle #AMR. #WAAW2024

Governments and other stakeholders need to realise the power of youth participation on #AMR at every level from agenda-setting to implementation. That's how knowledge of local solutions can be scaled up through partnership - says Vivian Nabasere @official_famsa #WAAW2024

Sharing antibiotics is one of the ways in which people are increasing the risk of AMR in their communities. But the system is set up to drive this behaviour. We need robust public health messaging for #AMR education, awareness and action. @daktari1 @Amref_Worldwide #WAAW2024

African nations are at a crossroads, facing unsustainable #debt burdens, high climate adaptation and development needs. #ClimateChange grants cannot be the only step. We must do more, say @DestaLakew @atofler .

Over 60% of the African population are young people aged under 25. Overlooking them in conversations about #AMR - or indeed, anything - means overlooking the majority. Hear more from Vivian Nabasere, @official_famsa on young people and sustainable solutions for AMR. #WAAW2024

A focus on emission reductions fails to address the most pressing health needs of African communities. The immediate threat of climate change is not their carbon footprint but their vulnerability to its effects. Read more from @daktari1 at #COP29 @devex .

African countries must move from ā€œdistributed carbon emission guilt" to people-centered climate action — with finance for adaptation from wealthier countries a priority.
