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 development objective of the Third Social Protection System Support Project for Rwanda is to support the Government of Rwanda to improve the efficiency, accountability and coverage of its social protection system. This proposed credit will help the Government of Rwanda to stay on course for reaching its ambitious poverty reduction goals, while addressing a set of second-generation reforms critical to strengthening the foundation of Rwanda’s social protection system. This operational series focuses on three main areas: improving the efficiency of Rwanda’s social protection system, strengthening accountability and transparency, and expanding social protection (SP) coverage among poor and vulnerable populations. The first and the second Development Policy Operation (DPO) under the current ongoing series, Social Protection Systems (SPS-1and 2), established a set of core reforms under each of the three pillars and laid the groundwork for the series (for additional detail, please see para. 47). Contributing to Efficiency (Pillar 1), reforms included harmonization between the two largest safety net programs, Vision 2020 Umurenge Program (VUP) and Genocide Survivors Assistance Fund (FARG); the launching of a new Ubudehe household registry serving as a foundation database for the iSP-MIS; and the establishment of objectives for a harmonized SP management information system. Contributing to Accountability and Transparency (Pillar 2), reforms included: the formal establishment of social protection as a sector, with related program composition and public expenditures; substantial decentralization and an expansion of key posts at the local government level contributing to direct citizens’ engagement.

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.
