Guidelines for Socio-cultural Analysis
By Jonathan Renshaw, Marie-Madeleine Mailleux Sant'ana, Volker von Bremen (10/01, En, Es)
The objective of these guidelines is to provide Bank staff ? particularly the people in operational divisions who are working on the preparation of projects, with a simple and comprehensible guide to some of the main social and cultural issues they may have to address. The guidelines are not intended as a draft strategy or statement of Bank policy, nor are they envisaged as a comprehensive guide to all the social and cultural concerns raised by Bank projects. Rather they have been designed to pose questions, and to help Bank staff and consultants think through the social and cultural issues raised by the main kinds of operations financed by the Bank.
This working paper is being published with the sole objective of contributing to the debate on a topic of importance to the region and to elicit comments and suggestions from interested parties. The paper has not gone through the Department?s peer review process or undergone consideration by the SDS Management Team. As such, it does not represent the official position of the Inter-American Development Bank. Please direct your comments to anned@iadb.org.
