The Working Group has been built on existing proposals and initiatives which people from across the AMR space have kindly taken the time to share with us during the last 18 months. Indeed, more than 60 percent of people that we interviewed as part of our Landscape Review highlighted the need for a better system for international co-ordination. We are working to incorporate feedback from a large number of experts in government, industry, academia, civil society and elsewhere, with the aim of creating final proposals that all key stakeholders can support.
In November 2022, a two-day reunion was organized by seven former directors of USAID’s Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH). Participants reflected on USAID’s achievements and challenges in the field of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) and discussed the program’s current and future direction. This document represents a summary of the discussions and reflects the broad set of issues, ideas, and themes that emerged from the reunion. It is not a consensus document and is not intended to represent the views of any individual or organization.

As the Covid-19 pandemic took hold of the world last spring, many nations enacted similar lockdown policies intended to restrict movement and halt transmission yet some countries fared far better than others.
Newly published research, led by William & Mary undergraduate Morgan Pincombe ‘21, analyzes public health disparities among 113 countries in the wake of the pandemic. The findings indicate that failure to account for different economic realities led to contextually inappropriate policy responses that “may exacerbate poverty and cause unnecessary death.”
The study involved an analysis of mobility, morbidity, and mortality growth rates across the World Bank’s income group classifications, which revealed that a one-size-fits-all approach to public health policy can have detrimental consequences for low-income countries.
