Preparation and execution of environmental and social impact assessment is one of keys to avoid and minimize environmental and social impacts of infrastructure projects. After comparing the monitoring requirements of donors, including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and Japan International Cooperation Agency, we analyze the frequencies of ADB’s reporting. The results found following four points; a) ADB describes more detailed monitoring requirements in their Safeguards Policy than other donors, b) the average frequency of monitoring implementation ranges from once every one year to a little over seventeen months, c) environmental monitoring tends to be implemented more often than social monitoring, and d) even though detailed monitoring requirements are provided, it is not enough to promote monitoring implementation.
