Any implementation of AMR containment measures requires financing. In resource constrained countries, how funding is mobilized, allocated, and utilized at national and sub-national levels is not well understood despite the availability of costing and budgeting tools for AMR national action plan objectives and activities. This study investigates the current funding landscape and its implications for AMR containment in Kenya and Vietnam, two LMICs with decentralized and centralized health systems, respectively. Specifically, it assesses AMR funding sources, priorities, planning and accountability mechanisms, positive and negative incentives, challenges, and gaps, all aimed at informing strategies for strengthening AMR containment financing at national and sub-national level.
