Description
Summary:	This note summarizes the key findings of a social assessment (SA) carried out in Caspian Sea communities in Azerbaijan. The SA was carried out within the framework of the government's National Environment Action Plan (NEAP). The Caspian Sea SA helped identify social assessment stakeholder prespectives and has important implications for the government's NEAP and follow-up investment project. A grant from the Swiss Government, facilitated by the Swiss Executive Director's Office of the World bank provided institutional and financial support to this social assessment.
