Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is essential for understanding and managing the social consequences of development projects. This guidance provides best practices for integrating SIA into project planning, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder engagement, participatory processes, and long-term social management. The document outlines how social, economic, and cultural factors influence project outcomes, highlighting the need for early and continuous community involvement. It also explores strategies for mitigating negative impacts, enhancing positive benefits, and ensuring long-term sustainability. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of human rights, social equity, and Indigenous engagement in the assessment process. This resource is valuable for SIA practitioners, project developers, regulators, and financial institutions seeking to improve social outcomes and foster more inclusive and sustainable development.
