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 project will pilot an innovative bottom-up approach to enable the vulnerable communities with particular focus on women in two post-earthquake districts to be re-integrated in the social fabric of society through the provision of post-traumatic training and a package of a multidisciplinary skills. Global evidence shows that supporting psycho-social well-being can enhance to help people cope in context of post natural disasters has great impact for enhancing access economic and social opportunities. Particularly, the project will focus on women recognizing that their social networks, livelihood activities, and their usual day-to-day practice had changed in the last few months (post earthquake) without having the necessary technical, financial, and emotional skills and support to cope with the changes. This innovative pilot will use a multi-disciplinary approach to trauma sensitive training by integrating socio-emotional skills with soft skills (and other necessary skills that the needs assessment will highlight-such as employability, mental health, etc...) to capture the links between social vulnerabilities and social responses in post-disaster areas.

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.

You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org.
