Eighteen Months In: Progress of our AMR Winners
In 2024, The Trinity Challenge selected the four winners of our Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) from 285 applications across 57 countries, awarding £2.7 million to tackle the antibiotic emergency through advancing knowledge of community based data, and introducing new technology tools. At a recent Innovation Showcase, they shared their progress after 18 months of delivery.
“In global health terms, [18 months] is not a long time. And yet what these teams have already accomplished is impressive: generating new data, building trust within communities, strengthening local capability, training health workers, and beginning to shift practice and increase the global evidence base in meaningful ways.”
– Dame Sally Davies, Founder and Executive Chair of The Trinity Challenge
What the teams have built
Farm2Vet (Vietnam) has built a self-learning AI platform that translates field data into hyperlocal veterinary guidance for livestock keepers. The team expanded field validation from 30 to around 100 frontline users, formed the Farm2Vet LLC to anchor long-term sustainability, and earned recognition as a case study in a World Economic Forum report on AMR in Asia.
AMRSense (India) has created the intelligence layer that sits between community behaviour and national AMR policy. Working with Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) community health workers as AMR ambassadors, the platform captures data at the community level and translates it into dashboards that are targeted at policymakers and key decision makers. The team secured formal regulatory clearance and is deploying to 230 workers across 40 urban primary healthcare centres in Bengaluru, having already engaged over 2,000 healthcare stakeholders.
OASIS (India) is building a digital support system for India’s estimated 2 million informal rural healthcare providers – people who deliver 70-90% of first-contact care but operate outside formal health systems. The Antibiotic Bandhu app gives these providers guidance, clinical decision support, and patient follow-up tools grounded in nearly 30 years of behavioural research. The app is now being rolled out to around 200 providers across two districts in West Bengal.
AMRoots (South Africa) is working with small-scale farming communities in the Eastern Cape, where the team established a sequencing laboratory within a remote rural community to map antibiotic resistance genes across human, animal, water, and meat samples. They are now developing a Herd Health WhatsApp platform to connect farmers directly with veterinary advice, planned for rollout across 180 farmer associations representing approximately 400,000 people.
What they still need
The past 18 months are just the beginning for these projects. Further support is key to realising the ambitious goals they have set – in implementation, adaptation, and scaling.
Across all four teams, three common needs stand out:
- Catalytic follow-on funding to sustain and scale their work
- AI, cloud, and technical infrastructure to strengthen their platforms
- Cross-sector policy and health system partnerships to connect community-level evidence to the systems that can act on it.
If your organisation can help – as a funder, technology partner, or part of an implementation network – we want to hear from you.
