The document discusses socio-economic impact analysis for development projects. It defines socio-economic impact analysis as assessing the potential impacts of a proposed development activity on people's lives and communities. The analysis estimates the direct and indirect effects of a project on stakeholders. Impact analysis further determines how much any changes in outcomes can be attributed to the project, taking into non-monetary values. Key aspects of measuring impact include comparing groups that received project support to those that did not, as well as analyzing conditions before and after the project.
