| Summary: | Digital book tracking systems have
potential to address some major book supply challenges by
providing accurate and easy to access information on the
status of books along the supply chain. The evidence from
the application of track and trace in Cambodia and a few
other countries shows its potential to provide a
cost-effective and scalable solution to some major book
supply challenges faced by many developing countries. When
the right books reach schools and students, the process of
teaching and learning to read can begin. Going forward,
evaluations of the scale-up of track and trace in Cambodia
and of the interventions in Nepal, Niger, and India will
yield evidence to inform the design and implementation of
book tracking systems in similar country contexts. |
