People’s view: Lack of knowledge, trust & responsiveness • Don’t know where to cast their complaint/ don’t know the system exist • Don’t have access to reporting mechanisms • Are afraid to report • Feels that nothing will be done even if they complaint
with existing systems? System failure: Not independent, no referral system Complaints mechanisms are internal & specific to one organisation/ programme No system in place – no complaint No referral system if complaint casted in the wrong place – complaints get lost Each organisation has to ensure linkages with law enforcement institutions/ oversight agencies
Added value of the integrated system One stop shop – easy access for people Provide reporting mechanisms for service providers who don’t have any at the time being Enhance coordination among service providers – information to affected populations – resolution of complaints Establish linkages with County Authorities – contribute to accountability and capacity building Strengthen linkages with Law enforcement authorities/ oversight institutions at County level Improve learning/ information/ programming at county level Feed into advocacy/ County Development plans, etc
