ICT has conducted a large number of social impact assessments
of various infrastructure projects in the highways, airports,
urban water supply and urban development sectors by conducting
social screening and social analysis for providing inputs
at the feasibility stage / design stage for the minimization
of adverse social impacts on the people and communities. In
addition, where necessary, resettlement action plans have
also been prepared for resettling and rehabilitating the adversely
affected people when a project involves land acquisition and
involuntary resettlement.
ICT has highly experienced specialists in the field of sociology,
social development and social planning who routinely carry
out participatory rapid appraisals (PRA), socio-economic surveys,
census and public consultations and mapping the social landscape
of the project areas for preparing social impact assessment
report and resettlement policy framework as well as action
plan.

and suggested appropriate mitigating measures for a large
number of infrastructure projects:
