NEGU has set up a hotline, and Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram channels. In addition to the Presidential virtual reception, there are similar channels at NEGU subsidiaries covering all the substations financed under the MUTS project. During the civil works, under the requirements of the Operations Manual guidelines, the contractors are required to maintain billboards with information about the works, and the hotline numbers/channels for GRM for residents to use, are advertised. No complaints pertaining the Project have been received by Comments: NEGU during the past 6 months of 2023, and during previous missions the Bank team confirmed that the beneficiary feedback system is operational. In addition, during FY20-21, the PMU has conducted several consultations with beneficiaries on key project-related activities. Furthermore, public consultations were held with citizens and Mahalla communities living nearby the Project areas in order to explain information about planned activities, upcoming construction and installation works, and potential outages. Consultations were organized by PMU and representatives of regional branches of NEGU.
