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 Support to Reaching All Children with Education (RACE 2) Program for Results Project for Lebanon is to promote equitable access to education services, enhance quality of student learning, and strengthen the education systems in the Recipient’s education sector in response to the protracted refugee crisis. Lebanon’s education system is governed principally by two entities: Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) and Center for Educational Research and Development (CERD). MEHE is responsible for overseeing the overall education sector, from the approval of national policies to the provision of service delivery in public schools, as well as regulation of private schools and other education service providers. CERD, an autonomous agency under the custodial authority of MEHE, is responsible for strategic planning nationwide, at the pre-university level.The RACE 2 program aims to achieve three outcomes and nine outputs that are structured around three pillars: i) Equitable Access, ii) Enhanced Quality, and iii) Strengthened Systems.

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 the 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.
