Supporting sustainable access to and the development of antimicrobials to combat antimicrobial resistance.

CURRENT OR PREDICTED IMPACT:

  • Recent analysis by the Centre for Global Development has shown that implementing pull incentives can save millions of lives and give G7 and EU governments a return on investment of 23:1 within their own countries, which rises to 125:1 when taken globally. 

COST-EFFECTIVENESS:

  • Although calculating the cost-effectiveness of this type of intervention will always be speculative, our estimates ($220/DALY averted), those done by Charity Entrepreneurship ($90/DALY averted), and the Center for Global Development ($104/DALY averted) all give promising figures for cost-effectiveness. These models include both government and charity costs. If only charity costs are considered (or you assume a very low counterfactual impact for government spending), the cost-effectiveness seems less than $2/DALY averted.
