Project Templates (IPSA and SPRSS)

• Initial Poverty and Social Analysis template

During the fact-finding mission for a project preparatory technical assistance, a feasibility study, or an early stage of due diligence, an initial poverty reduction and social analysis (IPSA) needs to be conducted by the ADB project team with inputs from the government and consultants as needed. IPSA is an early flagging exercise, designed to determine the scope, data collection methods, specialist inputs, timeframe and budget expected for a poverty and social analysis that should take place as part of the overall project preparation. IPSA template is required as a core appendix to project concept papers and preparatory technical assistance reports.

• Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy template

The findings and prepared actions of the social analysis (together with the poverty analysis when required) are synthesized in the summary poverty reduction and social strategy (SPRSS) format, which is a linked document to the report and recommendation to the President.
