Read@Home: Embedding Track and Trace in Book Supply Chains (Niger)

In recent years, several textbook distribution and track and trace systems have been piloted to assist local supply systems in ensuring that education materials reach schools at the last mile. Through this World Bank-funded initiative, John Snow, Inc. (JSI) and subcontractor World Education, Inc. (WEI), built on this global knowledge base by identifying a set of best practices in textbook delivery monitoring in low and middle-income countries. At the same time, the WB understands that context is vital in ensuring a successful supply chain monitoring system, so these best practices will have to be easily adaptable to different situations. To this end, WB funded JSI/WEI to implement the Track and Trace (TnT) project to support five target countries (Cameroon, El Salvador, Sudan, Niger and Senegal) in understanding these best practices and adapting them to their own contexts by developing locally-owned supply chain monitoring systems to ensure delivery of textbooks to the schools supporting children from families that need them most.

The Final Country Report describes the process of developing a supply chain monitoring system for teaching and learning materials (TLMs) distribution to schools in Niger.
