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, November 2023, and February 2024. 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 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 Comments: retaliation and distrusting the system; (iv) perceiving processes as complex and lengthy, and (v) perceiving escalation beyond the school level as indicative of school leadership competence, which may not be the case. 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. A World Bank-supported GRM situational-assessment was conducted to identify gaps and recommendations to ensure that the project GRM is operational. Initial findings of the GRM situational- assessment was shared with MOETE in September 2023. It was agreed to designate a focal point to facilitate finalizing the situational assessment, implementing the action plan, and resolving cumulative delays in disaggregation of project-level complaints received at the Ministry level.
