Handbook on Social Analysis

Guidelines, Handbooks, and Manuals Publication Date: November 2007 In stock

ADB supports equitable and sustainable social development outcomes by giving attention to the social dimensions of its operations. The Handbook on Social Analysis, A Working Document contributes to this endeavor by providing practical guidance to ADB staff, government officers, and consultants involved in programming, preparing, and implementing activities to effectively integrate social dimensions into ADB-financed operations.

The handbook does not introduce any new or additional policy or procedural requirements. Rather, it provides a road map to specific ADB policies and procedures related to social development and social analysis. This handbook, together with ADB's Poverty Handbook (2006), updates and replaces ADB's Handbook on Poverty and Social Analysis (2001).
