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.
The objective of the Secondary Education Improvement Project (SEIP) is to expand lower secondary education to achieve minimum standards in target areas, and to provide immediate and effective response in case of an eligible crisis or emergency. There are three components to the project, the first component being improving lower secondary education to meet minimum standards. This component aims to support the goals of the ESP and TPAP through the establishment of 130 effective lower secondary schools (i.e., schools that meet LSSES) in efforts to provide lessons for replication to MoEYS as it increases expenditures in the sub-sector. This component targets approximately 8 percent of total lower secondary schools nationwide. This component will be implemented using a holistic approach, targeting national, sub-national, and school levels, improving school-based management, teacher performance, and school environments. The second component is the strengthening project management and monitoring and evaluation. This component provides technical and operational assistance for the coordination, administration, monitoring, evaluation, and audit of the project. It will also include activities to support the PISA for Development (PfD) to strengthen the assessment capacity of MoEYS in preparation for PISA 2021. Finally, the third component is the contingent emergency response. The objective of the contingent emergency response component, with a provisional zero allocation, is to allow for the reallocation of financing in accordance with the IDA Immediate Response Mechanism in order to provide an immediate response to an eligible crisis or emergency, as needed. An Emergency Response Manual (ERM) will be developed for activities under this component, detailing streamlined FM, procurement, safeguard, and any other necessary implementation arrangements.

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.
