Abstract: The social analysis of a project may be organized in to two parts: estimating how the income changes caused by the project are distributed across the stakeholder of the project, and identifying the impact of the project on the principal objectives (basic needs) of society. Another aspect of the social analysis is concerned with situations where the project will facilitate or hinder the process of helping society address its basic needs. The analysis is important to decision makers as it lets them evaluate the impact of particular policies or projects on segments of society, and to predict which groups will be net beneficiaries and which groups will be net loser. This paper starts with explaining the distributive analysis and describes how to determine the impact of project on different parts of society and its effect to alleviate poverty. The application carried out in this paper is to allocate the cost and benefits of building a bridge over the Jamuna River as purposed by Government Bangladesh.
