We are acknowledged experts in assessing the social and economic impact of change on localities and communities due to public policy or a range of development.
JSA has developed and applied social impact assessment (SIA) and economic impact assessment (EIA) frameworks to meet the individual needs of each project and socio-economic context using well-understood principles and methodologies, including frameworks developed by us.
