registration of anonymous grievances, Comments: etc.). The procedure has been communicated to all staff members within the PIU and regional offices on the institution. The GRM has not received any complaints or feedback, mainly due to the fact that works have not commenced on any site. With the advancement of technical designs in 2022, the project will see 9/26/2022 Page 5 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Strengthening Preparedness and Critical Emergency Infrastructure Project (P168120) the development and consultation of the site-specific ESMPs. During this process, the PIU will have the opportunity to promote the GRM among its beneficiaries (e.g. press releases, social media exposure, GRM board on site, etc.). The first draft ESMP is currently under review to be cleared for public consultations by end of February, 2022.
