Abstract
Armenia's recent experience
underscores the value of using social assessment (SA) in
social sector reform projects. The Government of Armenia
and the World Bank carried out an SA to evaluate the social
and institutional feasibility of the government's
proposed education and health sector reforms. The social
assessment helped to identify key stakeholders and their
expectations and attitudes toward health and education
reforms; test compatibility of beneficiaries' stated
needs and the proposed reforms; adjust proposed project
components to meet beneficiary needs and reflect
socioeconomic realities; and collect and organize baseline
data for ongoing participatory monitoring.
