The Cambodian Scholarship Foundation is dedicated to educating and empowering adolescent girls in Cambodia. CASF works with local communities to identify students who show motivation, merit, and need, and provides funding, training, and mentoring to lead students through secondary school to higher education. A 2016 program evaluation of CASF employed the principles of Lean Research, and found that after fifteen years of support for girls’ education, the program has been successful at keeping adolescent girls in school and contributing to a local culture of education.

We are excited to present the first case study of the application of the Lean Research principles. TEGA is a mobile based, girl operated research approach designed to provide rapid access to authentic insights from communities in the Global South.
