FAQ
What is a Stakeholder Network?
Stakeholder Networks are networks approved by the Commission on a specific key health policy area and operate within the Health Policy Platform. The AMR Stakeholder network was set up to follow up on the Joint Statement and Call to Action on AMR, which urges EU policy-makers to effectively implement the EU One Health Action Plan against AMR , and has been endorsed by over 40 organisations from different sectors. It is the only platform where civil society can exchange with national and European policymakers and stakeholders working to tackle AMR.
