We stay flexible to better fit your project’s needs InSTEDD (Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases and Disasters) is a non profit organization founded in 2006 by the renowned Dr. Larry Brilliant, and later funded by Google.org. The organization contributes to improving quality of life for people all over the world, by identifying potential improvements in information flows and efficacy of intersectoral collaboration. InSTEDD addresses life-threatening gaps in communication and knowledge sharing in the pursuit of improved health, livelihood and security. Their work enables a connection between those in need, and those who can provide much needed resources.

Manas started collaborating with InSTEDD in 2007, and has not stopped ever since. As their technology partner we’ve shipped over 50 projects with them, including an SMS vouchers platform, an open source tool to create and run applications that interact via phone calls, an initiative to use diagnostic data to improve healthcare delivery, outbreak detection and response, and health systems management, and many others. Nicolás di Tada’s recent appointment as InSTEDD’s CTO reaffirms the organizations’ shared history.

With InSTEDD bringing the international humanitarian and development sector know-how, and Manas.Tech contributing the design and software expertise, the partnership has seen both organizations building on mutual strengths.
