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.

  • Social impact assessment
  • Resettlement and rehabilitation planning
  • Regulations and policies related to land acquisition
