Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to WB documents, the Citizen's Charter National Priority Program (CCNPP) is a compact between the population and the government. CCNPP will set a threshold of core infrastructure and services that
the government will provide to all communities over the next ten years. Some of the critical services include: basic education and health services; safe drinking water; access to roads, irrigation, and energy/electricity. It builds upon the community platform already developed with CDCs throughout the country to improve service delivery and monitoring. The Charter is not only about the delivery of services but the standards of service delivery citizens can expect. Over time, as capacity develops, other services such as disaster relief, refugee integration and local-level dispute resolution can be brought into the Citizen's Charter umbrella. Furthermore, the CCNPP will coordinate closely with the government's National Priority program for Economic Empowerment of Women to ensure that assistance is coordinated and reaching poor women. The exact service standards will be finalized during pre-appraisal with an eye towards budget realism, implementation
feasibility, and clarity in communicating standards to citizens. The project has the following components: 

Component 1. Block Grants

Component 2. Institution Building

Component 3. Monitoring and Knowledge Learning

Component 4. Project Implementation and Management

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
