<p>Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a UK government priority. Lord O’Neill’s
AMR review, published in May 2016, sets out the scale of the global challenge, including
in developing countries. Insecticide and drug resistance pose a real threat to the
recent progress seen on malaria. DFID supports developing new drugs and new insecticides,
in response to current levels of resistance. We also support drug management programmes
that decrease the chances of resistance building up, and other measures of tackling
malaria, such as the use of bednets.</p>
