To help inform the set-up of this independent panel, CGD has worked with the University of Ibadan, Boston University, the South Centre, and the AMR Policy Accelerator to produce seven research papers that identify lessons from climate and health panels, understand stakeholder expectations and governance options, and look at how evidence on AMR is currently—and often poorly—translated into policy. (The organisations behind this work, joined by both the Nigerian Academy of Science and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, recently submitted a comment to the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat emphasising the need for scientific independence for IPEA.) What the papers tell us Lessons from the IPCC (Hughes, Beynon, and McDonnell) used interviews and a literature review to determine how well the IPCC works to identify lessons for establishing the IPEA. The UNGA Political Declaration also emphasized the need to avoid duplication, which implied coordination with other elements of the AMR global health architecture such as annual ministerial meetings, the Global Leaders Group, the Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Platform, and the Global AMR R&D Hub.
