The manual was cleared by the WB team in Comments: 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, 3/25/2023 Page 11 of 19 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Supporting Egypt Education Reform Project (P157809) extracting project-level complaints received at the Ministry level is still not happening, which was further confirmed during the February 2023 mission. Discussions among internal stakeholders within the ministry, the Minister, and the Central Administration of Citizen Services to facilitate linkages between the Ministry level Hotline and the project-level GRM have taken place and provided suggestions for next steps. The mission further pursued the value of conducting a situational assessment to get a better understanding of current practices and accordingly support the ministry's effort for extracting project-level complaints using project boundaries set out in the GRM manual. Meanwhile, 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, and February 2023 where the team also added supervisors (takeaways detailed in the missions Aide Memoire), in collaboration with the PCU. This is in addition to roundtable discussions held as part of senior management visit with think tanks (Education Manager, Regional Director and Vice President for Human Development). The WB team continued to note mix feedback regarding knowledge and usage of the MOETE GRM channels. Even when stakeholders are aware of those channels, stakeholders do not prefer 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 retaliation and mistrusting the system; and (iv) perceiving procedures as complex and lengthy.
