  3. Social impact assessment includes the processes of analyzing, monitoring and managing the intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative, of planned interventions (Vanclay, The international handbook of social impact assessment, 2003). • OSRAM Off-Grid Lighting Project in Suba District – Kenya (2008/09) • 3 Steps: • i • 1. System analysis, project and scenario design, assessment of impacts • 2. Monitoring of project implementation • 3. Evaluation of social impacts Socialimpactassessment Lighting Africa Conference 2010, Kenya - Gerhard Mair
