The TAP quick guide: a practical handbook for implementing tailoring antimicrobial resistance programmes

This Tailoring Antimicrobial Resistance Programmes (‎TAP)‎ Quick Guide has been developed to assist Member States in initiating and undertaking projects to address the spread of antimicrobial resistance (‎AMR)‎ in their countries. AMR is a complex problem with many factors affecting its rise and spread, making it difficult to address. The TAP Quick Guide is designed to assist national-level TAP working groups in using a behavioural insights approach to identify appropriate and feasible interventions to begin tackling AMR in their contexts.

The Quick Guide provides a brief overview of AMR and the TAP process and walks users through the five stages of assessing feasibility, establishing a baseline understanding of issues, prioritizing topics to address, developing strategies, and implementing and evaluating interventions. The contents of the Quick Guide are based on a more extensive TAP Manual which will be available soon. Accompanying the Quick Guide is a TAP Toolbox with exercises and tools to assist in each stage of project development.
