Environmental and Social Impact Assessments

An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental, social, and economic effects of a proposed project or project extension. It is conducted to ensure that the project is sustainable, minimizes negative impacts, and complies with local and international regulations.
