In this Antimicrobial (AMR) Community of Practice (CoP) webinar, we discuss our approach to establishing regional external quality assessment (EQA) providers and the achievements and lessons learnt from the implementation of a regional EQA programme for AMR. This AMR CoP and webinar are supported by the Fleming Fund’s EQA Grant for Africa (EQuAFRICA), together with its partners and ASLM, who are working to strengthen the quality of AMR diagnostics across the continent. A key activity is increasing the coverage and uptake of EQA programmes for AMR in national reference laboratories and surveillance sites.
