Gender and Equity mainstreaming (GEAR up) - phase 2

---

GEAR up seeks to catalyse action on gender and equity within AMR through supporting Fleming Fund country grantees to mainstream gender and equity within routine AMR systems and structures.

Data on the burden of AMR disaggregated by various social stratifies are still limited across contexts. This represents a critical missed opportunity to better tailor AMR interventions to improve programmatic effectiveness and sustainability and avoid further entrenching intersectional gender inequities. Gender mainstreaming can strengthen the capacities of organisations and communities to take action to address social inequities but must include critical interpretation of disease surveillance data and an intersectional lens.
