Break the Barriers, End the Epidemic! Stigma and discrimination remain major obstacles in the fight against AIDS. Together, we must stand against prejudice and protect human rights to ensure universal access to HIV care. Together, let’s create a world where everyone has the compassion, dignity, and support they deserve. #aids #irdglobal

Kuyakhanya Pilot Takes Off in Ugu! IRD’s Kuyakhanya program has officially started its pilot in the Ugu District with the first group of Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners completing their training. This training - led by our partner, TREE - is designed to equip ECD practitioners and facilitators with practical skills to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for young children. It cultivates curiosity, problem-solving, and critical thinking while fostering essential early learning competencies. By combining evidence-based approaches with hands-on methods, Kuyakhanya supports practitioners in shaping a solid foundation for every child’s future. This program is supported by The LEGO Foundation. TREE, goGOGOgo, Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) #southafrica #irdglobal #kuyakhanya #earlychildhooddevelopment

#TB, #HepatitisC, and #mentalhealth
Excited to have shared key insights and best practices from our TB Reach Wave 10 project at the Union Conference 2024. By integrating #TB, #HepatitisC, and #mental #health services in a decentralized and community-led model, we are breaking down access barriers and building pathways to equitable, gender-responsive care. Our work over the past year in rural Sindh is a testament to the power of community engagement and multisectoral collaboration in addressing interconnected social determinants of health, including the amplified impact of #climate change on vulnerable populations. Grateful to symposium chairs Uzma Khan and Md. Toufiq Rahman for steering a forward-thinking discussion on holistic, disease-agnostic integrated care. Inspired by the incredible insights from my fellow speakers from Vietnam and DRC. A big thank you to Stop TB Partnership for coordinating this platform for TB Reach grantees to showcase our work. Incredibly proud and grateful for my team, both those attending the Union Conference with me and those cheering us on from Pakistan. Together, we are shaping the future of healthcare—one that is inclusive, sustainable, and driven by community.

Superb time in #MexicoCity for the #WorldCongressOfPsychiatry where we conducted an interactive dialogue on the PIECEs project. Wonderful to have such an enthusiastic and engaged audience who asked incredibly intelligent and thoughtful questions, showing that they were truly inspired by and curious about how to embed participatory and arts-based methods in their work. Thanks to World Psychiatric Association (WPA) for having us!

IRD Global reposted this
endTB-Q trial results are out and just presented at the Union Conference! The 6-9 month treatment strategy with BCDL is a new, excellent treatment option for pre-XDR-TB patients with non-extensive disease. A longer, fortified regimen may be warranted for patients with extensive disease to prevent relapses. https://lnkd.in/eQw4FNev Huge thanks and congratulations to all the study teams and participants!
