Express an interest for funding towards controlling antimicrobial resistance

The Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths has allocated £4 million of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) budget towards controlling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals and the environment.

The expression of interest window opened on 5th October and will close on 16th November 2020. See here for more information and to express an interest.

Welsh Government’s approach to AMR is to adopt the principle of prevention rather than cure and applications for this funding must demonstrate how they will contribute to the objectives set out in the Five Year Implementation Plan.

This announcement coincides with the first annual review on the work of the Animal and Environment AMR Delivery Group.
