Interactive Research and Development (IRD) is an international not-for-profit organization based in Singapore, with country affiliates in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. It collaborates with communities, private providers, universities, governments, and non-governmental organizations to develop, implement, and scale cost-effective, evidence-based health solutions addressing persistent health challenges and inequities. The organization aims to expand access to mass screening, testing, treatment, and prevention for infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, mental health, and surgical care, while supporting treatment adherence and quality of life improvements. IRD focuses on building local leadership by training community volunteers and frontline health workers and guiding technical staff toward world-class expertise and international networks. It also emphasizes robust program monitoring and evaluation and has contributed to open-source IT innovations that support mass health screening and related health information systems. In November 2024, Shinehumanity partnered with Interactive Research and Development to conduct a three-day intensive training session for its trainers, community health workers, nurses, and nutritionists.
