dc.descriptionThis document outlines the process of Social Assessment in development operations, its objectives, and methods. It describes how Social Assessments help project planners identify social issues, stakeholders, and risks, and develop strategies for participation. It includes a detailed explanation of social analysis components, such as demographic factors, socioeconomic determinants, social organization, sociopolitical context, and needs and values. Social Assessments aim to mitigate adverse impacts, ensure project viability, and build institutional capacity. The process is iterative, beginning early in the project cycle and continuing throughout implementation. The overview is based on a presentation developed by Sue Jacobs of the World Bank.
dc.description.abstractSocial Assessment is a framework for prioritizing, gathering, analyzing, and incorporating social information and participation into development projects. It involves identifying and analyzing social variables such as gender, age, and socioeconomic status, ensuring that development projects are informed by and take into account the key social issues, and incorporating a participatory strategy. The process helps in identifying stakeholders, assessing social risks, and mitigating adverse impacts, ensuring that the development projects are acceptable to the beneficiaries.
