The WB team has continued to conducted rounds of focus group discussions (virtual sessions) with key project beneficiaries (students, teachers, school principals), in September 2021, February 2022, June 2022, February 2023, July 2023 and November 2023. The focus group discussions continue to be engaging and providing key insights that the WB team documents in the mission Aide Memoire and discusses with the Minister during mission wrap-up meetings, as well as use in the situational assessment. The WB team continued to note mix feedback regarding knowledge and usage of the MOETE GRM channels. Even when stakeholders are aware of these channels, stakeholders prefer not to use the official channels to resolve their complaints. Reasons for not sending complaints to the Ministry Comments: included: (i) lack of awareness of the ministry system; (ii) not knowing how the system functions (e.g., what would happen after submitting a complaint); (iii) the fear of retaliation and distrusting the system; and (iv) perceiving processes as complex and lengthy. Background: The Project Coordination Unit (PCU), with extensive support from the World Bank Team, developed the project-level Grievances Redress Manual (GRM) manual. The manual was cleared by the WB team in September 2021 and incorporated in the Project Operations Manual. The PCU has also established communication channels with the Central Administration of Citizen Services at the MOETE. However, disaggregation of project-level complaints received at the Ministry level is still not done, which was further confirmed during the December 2023 mission.
