This brief highlights the Track and Trace methodology being used to track book distribution in Cambodia through the All Children Reading Grand Challenge. Track and Trace is a technology solution that enables ministry officials, partners, and distributors to track in real-time the ordering and distribution of books and other supplies.
Despite investing decades of funding for books in low-income countries, many early-grade classrooms have insufficient textbooks and supplemental reading materials to meet the needs of students.

Track and Trace is a technology model that is providing solutions for schools in Cambodia. World Education, 2018.
