On January 20th, the United States government announced the start of a USAID restructuring that has since had a significant impact on the global development industry.
In the immediate term, our focus is on supporting our partners as they navigate new challenges. Here is what Dimagi is doing to support our partners.
Making CommCare More Affordable
With USAID funding cuts, organizations face intense budget pressure. Our priority is to help CommCare users, including locally-led organizations, sustain their vital work without added financial strain. To support these organizations, we will be reducing the price of CommCare’s Standard Software Plan from $250 USD a month to $100 a month. With the CommCare Standard Plan, organizations can access powerful features that help them sustain and scale their impactful work by managing complex systems with ease.
If you’re interested in learning more or signing up, share your information here, and we’ll keep you updated. We’ll be implementing this change in the coming weeks. We’ll notify all current Standard Plan partners as soon as these changes take effect.
Supporting Our Networks
We recognize that many organizations are facing urgent funding gaps. For partners that need to appeal to funders about the value of CommCare, we are offering letters of support to ensure continued access to CommCare. This has already helped multiple programs remain operational from USAID stop-work orders. If you would benefit from a letter of support for your CommCare program, please email info@dimagi.com.
These recent changes left many professionals navigating an uncertain job market, and we’re committed to supporting our partners and their teams. We’ll continue to support and post opportunities to the CommCare Job Board, a resource for both job seekers and organizations looking to hire CommCare experts. Additionally, if you’re looking to develop new skills, Dimagi Academy offers a great opportunity to enhance your CommCare expertise. These free, self-paced courses can help enhance your CommCare expertise and open new professional pathways.
Final Thoughts
At Dimagi, we’re a technology company with an unshakable belief that digital solutions can maximize the impact of every dollar invested in global health and development. This commitment to stretching every dollar further is more crucial now than ever and sits at the core of our Impact Delivery approach.
In this evolving landscape, Dimagi remains fully committed to ensuring that digital solutions continue to drive impact for the long-term. We know that the road ahead is uncertain, but we will be here to navigate the changes alongside our partners.
