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 website, the project aims to improve equitable access to quality basic education, with a focus on selected disadvantaged areas. The project comprises of three components:

Component 1. Improving access, quality, and education system management supports three government priority areas: (a) enhancing equitable access to quality pre-primary and primary education; (b) strengthening education system management; and (c) the recently identified additional priority of supporting the education needs of public schools in host communities with refugees.

Component 2. Improving school effectiveness through performance-based financing (PBF) which aim to improve the quality of schooling, student retention, and school governance, with an emphasis on girls’ education.

Component 3. Institutional strengthening and project management aims to strengthen the capacity of education sector line ministries and relevant agencies toward the achievement of education sector strategy (ESS) objectives.

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.
