GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

Within the framework of the Strengthening Disaster Risk Management and Resilience in the Republic of Moldova Project, implemented with the support of the World Bank, a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has been established, in accordance with the World Bank's Environmental and Social Standards and national legislation.

The purpose of this mechanism is to identify, examine, and resolve in an efficient, transparent, and accessible manner any potential complaints, questions, or suggestions from the public and stakeholders affected by the Project's activities. The GRM is functional and free of charge for all stakeholders, without the risk of retaliation, including for anonymous complaints. It is also equipped to receive and manage complaints related to sexual exploitation, abuse, and sexual harassment (SEA/SH) in a safe, confidential, and survivor-centered manner.

Individuals, organizations, or community groups who believe they may be affected by the project's activities – such as design works, construction, or possible expropriations – can use this mechanism to express their concerns or seek clarifications.
