Impact and Future Outlook

Addressing AMR requires a transformative approach that prioritises equitable decision-making and sustainable funding, ultimately driving access to AMR solutions worldwide. By focusing on data- and community-driven methods, we can make significant strides in building a more inclusive and effective response to AMR.

Short-term outcomes include:

• Enhanced quality, representativeness and accessibility of AMR data: the microDAO will enable stakeholders to make informed, equitable decisions based on real-world needs and trends. Data will uncover critical insights, particularly in underserved areas where AMR data is often scarce or inaccessible.

• Sustainable funding streams: by leveraging blockchain and decentralised funding models we will achieve sustainable funding streams that broaden support beyond traditional grants. Web3 technology offers greater transparency, traceability, and community engagement, creating a more inclusive financial ecosystem that is accessible to a wider range of stakeholders.

• Enhanced collaboration across sectors: bringing together researchers, will ensure that data insights and funding are channelled toward the most pressing challenges, creating a united front against AMR.

In the long term, this model will lead to:

• Realisation of equitable access to AMR solutions: by prioritising data-driven decision-making and sustainable funding, we will build a foundation for equitable access to new antimicrobials, diagnostics, and vaccines, focusing on reaching underserved communities.

• Greater participation and a resilient community: increased transparency and decentralised funding will empower more people to engage in AMR decision-making and advocacy. This community will drive awareness, advocate for AMR interventions, and contribute to a stronger global response.
