Cambodia’s textbook supply chain experienced challenges with shortages, late deliveries, and inaccurate forecasting, impacting student learning. Track and Trace (TnT), a digital solution that streamlines the supply chain, was introduced in 2022. However, TnT was not implemented equally across schools. Therefore, this paper aims to (1) investigate...
Cambodian primary schools often encounter challenges in sourcing textbooks. Inefficient manual processes were used before the introduction of Track and Trace (TnT) in 2022, a digital solution that aimed to streamline the textbook supply chain. This research aims to (1) explore the motivations behind the development of TnT and (2) understand the...

Children in low-and middle-income countries often struggle to master foundational academic skills, such as reading, despite years of schooling. Quality learning materials are essential to addressing this issue. In this Learning to Improve Books Resource Operational Systems (LIBROS) study, we explore ways to enhance the primary-level book supply cha...
This Book Brief is a compilation of findings from studies in the LIBROS-Cambodia Project. It provides overall pictures of the primary-level book supply chain situation in Cambodia and Track and Trace (TnT) system, which is now the Core Textbook Supply Management System in Cambodia.
This Systems Thinking workshop involved the implementation of eight main activities: issue prioritization, issue mapping systemigram, strategy prioritization, evidence prioritization, stakeholder and idealized evidence network mapping, evidence ecosystem relationship analysis, mapping critical success factors, and research contextualization. A...
Educational technology (EdTech) is a broad term encompassing tools and resources used in various aspects of education. Its global rise, particularly in developing countries, offers potential solutions to educational challenges. However, while EdTech promises tailored solutions, policymakers need a deeper understanding of its effective and sustainab...
