“As an organization that puts heavy emphasis on results, strong data collection and data management tools are important for our diverse portfolio of projects across the globe. CommCare has many features that we consider integral to the integrity of our impact data. We have implemented CommCare in numerous projects around the world resulting in the ability to collect critical monitoring and evaluation data in a timely and efficient manner. CommCare data has become foundational to our quest to maximize our effectiveness and impact.”

“CommCare and its case management properties have made project progress tracking easier for the project teams I support and myself. Moreover, CommCare tech support is responsive to my projects’ custom needs and I have always been able to form a solution with the Dimagi team no matter how daunting the task.”

“High-quality data collection and data management are fundamental components of M&E, without which we can’t provide real-time, relevant analytics to support project decision-making. Organizing our approach around a suite of tools has provided important efficiency gains which allow us to concentrate more on analytics than data processing.”

“CommCare has become very helpful for us. From this application, we fill in the checklist of households, village model farmers, and female community health volunteers. [It] helps us assess the situation and provide need-based counseling. Similarly, updating new pregnant women in the system helps us in addressing the health and nutritional needs of pregnant women through SMS push messages.”

“CommCare has provided us a secure API (Application Programming Interface) that allowed us to place a custom built automatic data pulling windows service for managing and analyzing data in local SQL server. It has helped further to design our own custom web-based system for visualizing the dashboard and providing simple and user-friendlier report generators, developed with user centric design approach that can produce disaggregated information from multi-sectional analysis.”

“Screening is currently established at 40 sites, but reaches only about 4 percent of all newborns.”

“The success of this entire pipeline starts with good data. CommCare has been a foundational partner for us since 2016.”

““The CommCare app allows me to be more efficient in keeping track of our clients in order to provide quality service. CHWs can collect information on community needs and how the CHW can assist, for example, with applying for benefits or referrals to agencies such as food banks and clinics for families with no insurance.””

““At MHP Salud, we’ve shifted from being project-based to a sustainable service delivery model, focused on long-term impact and stability. By integrating technology like CommCare and Tableau dashboards, our community health workers now have real-time access to their goals and client outcomes, empowering them to deliver more effective, data-driven services every day.””

“CommCare! Grassroots community saves lives through high tech!”

“CommCare assists the Ministry in the early detection and monitoring of outbreaks at the community level. Reports of cases of disease and epidemics at the community level reach us quickly.”

“CommCare platform for CHWs and Supervisors is a first in our Region. Indeed, it will improve our performance in community health in terms of quality of service offered by CHWs and reporting timeliness and completeness.”

“There are countless benefits to using CommCare, but what stood out to me the most was that it makes it easier for CHW to complete their activities and speeds up reporting data and improves completeness, promptness as well as accuracy.”

“Although we still use paper registers today, the work has become lighter since using CommCare. During home visits during sensitization, I just go with my smartphone.”

“Dimagi continues to be our main partner in the coordination, development, and maintenance of mHealth activities within the PMI VectorLink Project. The CommCare application has contributed to the improvement in speed of availability of vector control data and has enhanced IRS field supervision. This partnership has ensured that evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning are translated into effective implementation on the ground.”

“Dimagi has played a tremendous role in supporting our efforts in data analysis. This has helped the team make informed decisions based on facts and not simply their intuition. With communication being a key factor to success, Dimagi has exhibited impressive levels of responsiveness. For any issues raised or inquiries made, Dimagi replied in less than a day.”

“Within the IECD CommCare app, CHWs have the benefit of less paper-based work, a simpler process for tracking information, and more time for positive interaction with caregivers. These benefits help us deliver services such as caregiver education, disability screening, nutrition promotion, and agriculture for income generation, to support vulnerable families and young children.”

“The app has been designed to house all program manuals and job aids to support the CHWs to implement IECD activities in their communities. We have received very positive feedback from them that the app is user friendly and effective [because it offers features such as] availability in local language, offline data collection, real time data, and ability to track individuals’ exposure to interventions.”

“Partnering with Dimagi on the HMHB Activity in Tajikistan made sense. The Dimagi team brings decades of experience designing technology for frontline programs and truly cares about the outcomes of HMHB. We have been able to digitalize paper forms, increase the speed and accuracy of analysis to support decision making, and utilize CommCare for capacity building to improve performance quality of health workers. Together with Dimagi, HMHB is pushing the frontiers of impact in the digital health landscape of Tajikistan.”

“I used to think that the computers were something that only the people in offices used. They were not something that farmers could use. But these tools are important [for us] because they help the farmers understand the size of their plots. And with GPS, farmers know precisely how much seed and inputs to apply and they can better understand performance. Before we didn’t have context for [understanding] our performance.”

““As Quality Management Department (QMD), we have found the (online) ISS dashboard very handy in empowering our districts to show (verifiable) evidence of their performance in the health sector through the Local Government-led Accountability Programme. It has greatly enabled us to be objectively accountable and provide evidence of improvement over time to the Ministry of Local Government at the district level.””

““The deployment of the digital ISS tool and dashboard has greatly empowered me as National ISS Coordinator to identify zones and districts that are lagging behind in facility supervision….and target follow up support more efficiently. I am now in a stronger position to manage (performance) than was the situation before we had the ISS dashboard…””

““Through the Community/Environmental Health module of the ISS, we identified waste management and lack of guardian shelter as some of the issues at facilities such as Chankhungu, Chisepo, Thonje, Chakhadza and Bowe. Thanks to the [digital ISS] tool, Chankhungu Health Center now has a guardian shelter, water problems have been solved and it now has proper waste management.””

“Through the Lwala Mobile app, CHWs have maintained a 95% immunization rate. The app also eases the CHWs’ workload via the Task Module to simply track referrals and follow-ups for their priority clients.”

“Lwala’s CHWs are able to track children who are not fully immunized in CommCare and it prompts them to remind mothers to take their children to receive the remaining vaccinations. This is so important because children who are not fully immunized may be susceptible to permanent disabilities.”
