Social Analysis Tools
Updated: 15 September 2008



Social analysis is conducted for all ADB-assisted programs and projects in its developing member countries.

Social analysis helps

  • understand the socioeconomic and institutional context for the program or project
  • consider the appropriateness and feasibility of the program or projects
  • assess the potential positive and negative social impacts of the program or project
  • identify possible actions (including law or policy changes, or specific project activities) to maximize the positive social impacts of the program or project, and minimize any negative impacts

Social Analysis Tools shows how to conduct social analysis at each programming and project cycle of ADB operations and the available tools.
