Cure Violence Global is a nonprofit that treats violence as a public health issue, stopping its spread through trained community outreach workers.
On CommCare, Cure Violence Global’s interrupters and outreach workers detect, treat, and track violence as a public health issue, across 117 programs worldwide.
Interrupting violence takes more than intuition
Cure Violence Global detects and interrupts conflicts, treats the highest-risk individuals, and mobilizes communities to change norms. Its previous data system was inflexible and unsupported. They chose CommCare because:
- It adapts to every program. Custom applications fit contexts from Chicago to Montevideo.
- It centralizes a global portfolio. One view across every project space and every country.
- It works for field teams. Simple Android apps that violence interrupters can pick up quickly.
- It comes with real support. Training resources that scale, in sessions of 30 to 40 users at a time.
programs worldwide now run on CommCare, up from 85 sites at the move, with the largest single intake onboarding 340 interrupters in Cali, Colombia.
Field teams
Simple, icon-driven Android apps that outreach workers and interrupters learn fast, whatever their tech background.
Data teams
Tableau dashboards and OData feeds turn field data into evidence, backed by Python data science.
Program teams
In Uruguay alone, 8 to 10 custom apps track more than 18 case types, each with over 12 forms.
Leadership
Data that showcases impact and drives funding, making the case to cities, ministries, and donors.
We see CommCare as a mission-critical, strategic platform for us. Without it, we’d be running programs blindly. It’s not just a nice-to-have. Cure Violence Global has been able to turn data into a strategic advantage, showcasing our impact and driving funding.
