Powering the Frontline. Paying for Results.
Connect by Dimagi is building a new model for global development—one that directly links funding to verified service delivery at the frontline, enabling more transparency, accountability, and impact.
Why Connect?
Billions of people depend on non-specialist Frontline Workers for essential life-saving services, such as:
- Preventing, detecting, and managing leading killers (diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, HIV, TB)
- Supporting mothers through pregnancy, birth, and under-5 care
- Immunization for common infections
- Responding to pandemics and emergencies
Frontline Workers also are often the only point of direct services or link to a distant health system. Connect allows these Frontline Workers to deliver additional services in their communities.

Scale community-based service delivery with Connect. Equip Frontline Workers to learn skills, deliver services in their communities, verify delivery and get paid—all on the leading digital platform for Frontline Work.
