Abstract
The United Nations General Assembly called in September 2024 for the establishment of an independent panel for actionable evidence against antimicrobial resistance (IPEA). The task of designing the panel was given to the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat (QJS) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) with a delivery timeline of 15 months. To promote stakeholder thought and input around what this panel should look like and how it should work, which could feed into the QJS’s consultation process, we independently commissioned seven papers to examine lessons that could be learned from other high-level scientific panels. We then called a convening of stakeholders that were primed with the background papers. The stakeholder workshop was attended by 85 invitees, comprised of AMR stakeholders with expertise in all One Health sectors. The workshop, held in Lagos, Nigeria in April 2025, drew representation from around the world. Most stakeholder attendees were based in a low- or middle-income country and Africa sent more attendees than any other continent. Stakeholder input around preferences for IPEA’s structure and governance, science and content, and goals and output was collated in small group roundtable discussions, and plenary polling. Summary outputs were shared in plenaries and are documented in this perspective and stakeholder attendees were urged to contribute to the formal consultation, which is managed by the QJS.
