SUMMARY:Regional Workshop on Validation of the APMD Pastoral-Livestock Evidence Base
DESCRIPTION:Building Better Evidence for Africa’s Pastoral Livestock Systems\nThe Regional Workshop on the Validation of the APMD Pastoral-Livestock Evidence Base will take place in Mombasa\, Kenya\, from 15–17 September 2026. \nThe workshop focuses on strengthening the evidence base surrounding pastoral livestock systems\, with particular relevance to livestock mobility\, pastoral livelihoods\, market systems and the development of policies that respond to the realities of pastoral communities. \nReliable evidence is essential for developing practical approaches to livestock production\, animal health and welfare\, market access and sustainable pastoral development. Bringing stakeholders together to validate available evidence can help ensure that future interventions are informed by African realities and supported by credible information. \nThe official AU-IBAR listing confirms that this is a physical event in Mombasa\, Kenya\, running from 15–17 September 2026. \nRegistration: No public registration form was identified on the official event listing at the time of publication.

SUMMARY:World AMR Awareness Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:One Health\, One Action: Prevent AMR Now\nWorld AMR Awareness Week 2026 will take place from 18–24 November 2026 under the theme “One Health\, one action: Prevent AMR now.” \nAntimicrobial resistance\, or AMR\, occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria\, viruses\, fungi and parasites no longer respond effectively to medicines used to treat infections. \nBecause antimicrobial resistance affects people\, animals\, plants\, food systems and the environment\, it is fundamentally a One Health challenge. Veterinary services\, animal producers\, animal-health professionals and animal welfare organisations therefore have an important role to play in promoting responsible antimicrobial use\, disease prevention\, biosecurity and improved animal health. \nWorld AMR Awareness Week provides an opportunity for organisations\, professionals\, communities and policymakers to raise awareness and encourage practical action against antimicrobial resistance. \nThe WHO confirms that the 2026 campaign will run from 18–24 November 2026\, with the theme “One Health\, one action: Prevent AMR now.” \nGet involved\nOrganisations can use the week to develop educational content\, webinars\, community activities and professional discussions linking antimicrobial resistance with animal health\, welfare\, disease prevention and responsible production.
