Table 5: Terminology and Policies Invoked Related to GBV/SEA/SH Grievances Country SEP Will the GRM specifically be equipped to handle GBV/SEA/SHrelated grievances? What forms of GBV/ SEA/SH-related risk will the GRM be equipped to handle? What forms of GBV/ SEA/SH are included as possible risks in the ESRS? Which policies or guidance are invoked with regards to the GBV/SEA/SH-related risks? Burkina Faso Yes GBV SEA/SH Social risk rating and ESS1 Liberia Yes GBV/SEA/SH GBV/SEA Social risk rating and ESS4 The Gambia No - SEA/SH ESS4 Uganda No* GBV/SEA/VAC GBV/SEA Social risk rating, ESS1, ESS10 Bangladesh No - GBV ESS2 Nepal Yes GBV SEA/SH ESS2, ESS4 Sri Lanka Yes GBV/SEA/SH GBV/SEA/SH Social risk rating and ESS1 Cambodia No - GBV/SEA/VAC ESS2, ESS4 Philippines Yes GBV GBV/SEA/SH/VAC ESS2, ESS4 El Salvador No* GBV/SEA/VAC GBV/SEA/SH/VAC Social risk rating and ESS1 Guatemala No - SEA/SH ESS4 Total Yes 7 Total No 4 *The Uganda and El Salvador SEPs acknowledge a need for the availability of resources for people to report instances of GBV/SEA/VAC, but neither explicitly state that the project GRMs will be equipped to handle these grievances. Instead, they indicate that the Ministry of Health in each country will disseminate information about established hotlines to report these cases. See “Grievance Redress Mechanism” in Annex 4 for more data and information. the importance of these issues, and the Bank has recognized the importance of handling these issues sensitively more broadly.72 It is therefore important that projects set up methods to handle grievances of all GBV/SEA/SH so all stakeholders have a single tool with which to submit complaints on these issues. All GRMs should be equipped to handle allegations of sexual and gender-based violence and harassment with respect to both children and adults, whether or not such violence and harassment was identified as a risk at the start of the project. Consultations with women and other expert groups about the projects and GRMs are a way for the Bank and Borrowers to design the best approach for GRMs to handle GBV/ SEA/SH allegations. As discussed in the previous section, GRMs, particularly those that are intended 72 Sierra and Gupta, “Working Together to Prevent Sexual Exploitation and Abuse”; “Insights of the World Bank Inspection Panel: Responding to Project Gender-Based Violence Complaints Through an Independent Accountability Mechanism.” BANK INFORMATION CENTER | MAR 2021 to handle grievances related to GBV/SEA/SH, should be set up in a child-friendly manner. E. SEP IMPLEMENTATION 1. Budgets for SEP Implementation Relevant guidance for budgets for SEP implementation The Bank provides a template SEP for Borrowers to propose “sample approaches” for fulfilling the requirements of a SEP.73 The template suggests that the resources for implementing stakeholder engagement should be included in the SEP, including confirmation that an adequate budget has been allocated for stakeholder engagement.74 73 “Template for ESS10,” 1. 74 See 3o under ESS10 in Annex 1; “Template for ESS10,” 5 sec. 5.1. 16
