TEGA stands for Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors. TEGAs are girls aged 18-24 who are trained to conduct research via a mobile application. Girl Effect (an international non-profit) designed the app so girls can become digital interviewers, collecting real-time data about their communities in the form of audio, videos and photos, as well as traditional survey data.

Over 200 TEGAs are currently collecting qualitative data in Nigeria, Malawi, Rwanda and India on subjects including education, health, safety and economic empowerment. Last year Girl Effect set up their first TEGA network in the US, in Saginaw, Michigan. They are now launching a second network in Adams County, Colorado. This network will focus on conducting research to inform partners working to improve educational outcomes for young people in the ACYI Partnership.

We have 12 TEGAs here in Adams County who are in the process of conducting Research!
