The Innovation+Design Enabling Access (IDEA) Initiative has worked to support WHO-SEARO in its efforts to organize the first several World Conferences on Access to Medical Products, co-organized by the Government of India, and presented on issues of pharmaceutical innovation and access, R&D transparency, and novel approaches to bringing antibiotics to market and ensuring their sustainable access. As the Strategic Policy Program for ReAct-Action on Antibiotic Resistance, we also work with intergovernmental and civil society partners on issues of antimicrobial resistance, particularly through the Antibiotic Resistance Coalition comprised of over 25 organizations, from Centre for Science, the Third World Network and the Environment and the People’s Health Movement to the South Centre, an intergovernmental think for over 50 member states.
