The French programme against antibiotic resistance has been intensified since 2000. A set of national plans have been developed, both for humans (three plans from 2001 to 2016), and in the veterinary setting from 2012 to 2017. Both plans were initially successful in decreasing antibiotic consumption, and antibiotic resistance for some microorganisms.

The German Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy (DART 2020)1 was adopted by the Federal Cabinet in May 2015. The aim of DART 2020 is to slow the development and spread of antimicrobial resistances in human and veterinary medicine. DART 2020 and the measures it contains adopt a stringent "One-Health" approach. The issue of resistance and the specific problems in the field of human and veterinary medicine are viewed and tackled in their entirety. DART 2020 brings together the various stakeholders with their differing areas of expertise and utilises the added value resulting from this cooperation. Important elements in this regard include raising the awareness of the population and medical professionals as well as improving rational antibiotic therapy and reducing the overall use of antibiotics.

>USAID helps Vietnam launch its National Action Plan for management of antibiotic use and control of antibiotic resistance in livestock production and aquaculture 2017-2020.
http://www.fao.org/in-action/ectad-vietnam/news/detail/en/c/1027508/ 02/08/2017 Ha Noi Story from ECTAD Vietnam:
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) launches the Viet Nam National Action Plan for management of antibiotic use (AMU) and control of antibiotic resistance (AMR) in livestock production and aquaculture 2017 – 2020. With financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this plan was developed in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to guide the actions of the agriculture sector, governed by agencies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), and complement the Ministry of Health national action plan on combating drug resistance in the period from 2013 – 2020. The implementation of this National Action Plan will help mitigate the public health risk of AMR arising from antibiotic usage in livestock production and aquaculture in Viet Nam.
The National Action Plan establishes five specific objectives, including:
- Review, revise and enforce policy implementation and governance related to AMR and AMU in livestock production and aquaculture;
- Increase awareness on AMU and the risk of AMR occurrence among food and agriculture professionals, producers and consumers;
- Implement good practices in animal treatment, animal feed production, livestock husbandry and aquaculture;
- Monitor AMR occurrence, antibiotic residues, AMU in livestock production and aquaculture; and
- Facilitate inter-sectoral collaboration in AMR management.
“Launching a National Action Plan is a very important step, but its success depends on effective implementation, on compliance, and when necessary on enforcement. Actions must be based on the best evidence, consistent with international practices,” said Mr. Craig Hart, Deputy Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development.
