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 Alliance for Education Quality Project for Nicaragua is to improve: (a) teacher practices for participating teachers in preschool, primary, and secondary education nationwide; and (b) physical learning conditions in targeted schools. The project comprises of three components. The first component, improving teacher practices for participating teachers in preschool, primary, and secondary education nationwide, seeks to introduce innovative mechanisms to improve teacher quality through two sub-components: (i) improving teacher practices for participating teachers nationwide; and (ii) strengthening Ministry of Education (MINED’s) capacity to collect and analyze student assessments, and lead studies on teacher practices. The second component, improving the physical learning conditions in targeted schools aims to ensure that schools have the minimal physical quality standards as defined by MINED, by supporting the rehabilitation, replacement, and or expansion of school infrastructure, including furniture and educational equipment, to improve physical learning conditions in approximately 45 targeted schools selected in accordance with the criteria set forth in the operational manual (OM). The third component, supporting project management and monitoring will strengthen the technical and fiduciary capacity of MINED by: (i) supporting the development of an infrastructure management system to monitor the implementation of activities under component 2; and (ii) supporting the fiduciary management system for overall project implementation, including support for project management and monitoring, and audit costs.

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. CONTACTS World Bank Enrique O.
