GiveDirectly is a nonprofit that delivers unconditional cash directly to people living in poverty.
On CommCare, GiveDirectly registers, verifies, and pays cash transfer recipients in seven countries, moving real money on the strength of field data.
Getting cash to the right people takes more than a form
GiveDirectly enrolls recipients in remote, low-connectivity places, and every payment depends on getting that enrollment data right. They chose CommCare because:
- It launches fast in any country. New programs spin up without rebuilding every form from scratch.
- It meets cash-grade security standards. Granular permissions and secure connections into internal payment systems.
- It keeps working offline. Field officers enroll and verify recipients wherever they go.
- It standardizes work across teams. One platform and one question library for every project, in every country.
One of the biggest benefits is how CommCare allows us to streamline workflows by easily copying and reusing content across forms. Previously, we had to do this more manually, which limited our ability to unlock learnings across projects.
A reusable question library means nothing gets rebuilt from scratch twice. The weeks once lost to manual form-building now come back on every project, as time teams spend running programs instead of rebuilding tools.
