2017 ICT4D Conference

This presentation will focus on discussing several of Dimagi's implementations of CommCare as it relates to the agricultural sector. Although principally a health focused implementation and services technology firm - Dimagi is fast becoming one of the largest agricultural technology companies in the world. Dimagi currently has 100 agriculture projects in 35 countries, collecting over 2 million forms from 1 million cases.

CommCare is being deployed to support four key and complimentary sectors: agricultural extension, agricultural cooperatives, agricultural logistics, and agricultural finance. Dimagi supports a variety of scale, from national deployments for school feeding programs in Zambia with the World Food Program, to organizations that independently develop and deploy their own technology, such as seed package tracking and sales with partners in Mali.

A brief overview will be given of the technology, including its features such as offline capabilities and GPS area mapping, as well as implications for programs with our new reporting and analytics capabilities.

Finally, the talk will highlight Dimagi's work with select projects, including: Care PATHWAYS to empowerment (ag extension), private cooperative management in Senegal, cashew distribution with the MoA of Mozambique and TNS (ag logistics) and how we're planning to expand our work to include asset evaluations for the ag sector.
