Socio-Economic Impact Assessments (SIAS))
Nearly all large-scale projects require some form of SIA or Social Risk Assessment, either as part of the environmental authorization processor to inform project design and planning.
Envires is conversant in international best-practice standards (such as those enshrined in the Equator Principles, World Bank policies and IFC Performance Standards) with regard to socio-economic assessment. We also have extensive experience in undertaking such assessments according to the local legislative requirements of various African countries.
