Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The project supports new census methodology development, IT system upgrades, remuneration of enumerators and the rollout of call center infrastructure to enable remote household surveying, households survey implementation with limited in-person engagement, and minor refurbishment of SSSU offices. The overall environmental and social risk is assessed as Moderate. Key social risks include data privacy and protection risks related to nationwide handling of personal data, potential under-representation of vulnerable or hard-to-reach groups, risks of public and community distrust toward data collection in a Ukrainian context, and occupational health and safety and security risks for project workers and contractors due to ongoing missile attacks. Environmental risks limited to minor waste including e-wastes, noise, and safety risks associated with small-scale refurbishment and equipment installation.
