The EIB does not have a poverty mandate. A recent document, "The Social Assessment of Projects outside the European Union: the Approach of the European Investment Bank (2006)" states, "In recognition of the three inter-related pillars of sustainable development (social, economic
and environmental), the EIB’s Projects Directorate (PJ) already carries out an economic
analysis as well as an environmental assessment of all projects considered for Bank financing. The economic analysis includes an assessment of any significant impacts on income
distribution, including the likely impact on poverty alleviation. This attempts to quantify
and value environmental externalities, where significant. More recently, a broad social assessment has been introduced selectively."
