This working paper was conceived to offer practical tips and suggestions on how to establish and sustain the multisectoral coordination needed to develop and implement National Action Plans on AMR (NAPs). It is intended for anyone with responsibility for addressing AMR at country level. Drawing on b...oth the published literature and the operational experience of four ‘focal countries’ (Ethiopia, Kenya, Philippines and Thailand), it summarizes lessons learned and the latest thinking on multisectoral working to achieve effective AMR action. The experience in focal countries points to a number of tools and tactics that can be used to help establish and enhance sustainable multisectoral collaboration for AMR action. These can be grouped into four categories: political commitment, resources, governance mechanisms, and practical management.

Au cours d’une pandémie à COVID-19 une détérioration de la situation nutritionnelle des enfants et des femmes est très probablement liée à l’augmentation des prix des denrées alimentaires, la réduction de la disponibilité alimentaire et la baisse du revenu de la population suite au ral...entissement de la vie économique. Par ailleurs, la manière dont les interventions de nutrition sont offertes doit s’adapter à l’épidémie de COVID-19 pour éviter toute propagation de la maladie à COVID-19. C’est pourquoi, ce manuel est produit par le programme national de nutrition en collaboration avec le cluster nutrition et les autres partenaires pour donner des orientations sur la meilleure façon de poursuivre la mise en œuvre des interventions de nutrition en veillant aux mesures de prévention et contrôle de l’infection.
