HIA, EIA & SIA
Like environmental impact assessment (EIA) and socio-economic impact assessment (SIA), HIA systematically assesses potential impacts, and recommends strategies to mitigate harmful effects and enhance benefits.
HIA, EIA and SIA differ in where they look for effects.
EIA examines effects on the environment, SIA on the social and economic wellbeing of affected communities, and HIA on the health of human populations.
