Supporting One Health policies to manage antibiotic resistance in Senegal: a systems analysis using group model building
This study highlights the value of participatory systems approaches for mapping key drivers of ABR and identifying potential ABR policy actions. While this work integrates cross-sectoral perspectives and provides some actionable insights for evidence-informed decision making, the findings reflect the perspectives of national-level actors and shows strong alignment with international policy and priorities. ABR policy design should also involve local authorities and populations to ensure effective and context-appropriate action. This study provides new empirical evidence to support the development of ABR policy in Sub-Saharan Africa by highlighting the interrelationships between policy areas and the knock-on effects that sectoral and cross-sectoral interventions can have.
