Who are we

D-Tree collaborates with governments to develop a shared vision of the potential for digital health, demonstrates the effectiveness of digital systems to improve health outcomes, and accompanies governments to scale and institutionalize these digital systems nationally within their broader health systems.

Since 2011, D-Tree has partnered with the Ministry of Health in Zanzibar to implement an innovative digital health programme, Jamii ni Afya (“Community is Health”) to support Community Health Volunteers to deliver health services within their communities. This program has consistently demonstrated improved health outcomes, an enhanced community health system, and increased use of data in decision-making. Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot program to a national program and has shown how digital technology can change the quality of the health system.

The Zanzibar government has committed to adopting the Jami Ni Aya at the national level; Integrate digitally empowered CHVs into their formal community health strategy. This represents the world’s first ever digital community health program to be scaled nationally, delivering quality health services to the doorsteps of all of Zanzibar. The digital health program reached its full scale in August 2021, allowing D-tree to focus on the program’s sustainability, quality and impact. Senior Government Advisor Job
