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.
