A Practical Guide for Designing Track and Trace Systems for Teaching and Learning Materials
This guide (also available in French and Spanish) was created to help key country stakeholders understand and make the various decisions they must make in designing a Track and Trace (TnT) system, from initial conception through the “nitty-gritty” details of implementation. We begin with some of the biggest questions that need to be answered first when designing a new TnT system, such as “why are we designing a TnT system?” and “what do we want our system to be able to do?” This will help narrow the focus as we shift into more detailed discussions of technology options, deciding who will use the system and how they will interact with it, identifying key data pieces and their source, considering options for training users of the system, and identifying key performance indicators. Annexes at the end of these guidelines will discuss master datasheets, indicator reference sheets, additional technology considerations, and a longer form case study.
