How this tool works
- Built on
- Six areas of environmental and social risk management drawn from the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework and similar standards.
- Scoring
- Each answer scores from 0 (not in place) to 4 (fully in place). An area's score is the points earned as a share of the maximum for the questions you answered; the overall score is the average of the areas. Bands: Foundations needed 0–39%, Transformation under way 40–69%, Ready to scale 70–100%.
- Limitations
- Results depend on the information you enter and are not verified by Risalat. This tool does not replace MAPS, PEFA, World Bank or other formal assessment methodologies, or an independent review.
- Your data
- What you type stays in your browser unless you save it to a free account. We receive your name, email and summary only when you open your results.
- Sources checked
- November 2026 (checked every month)
- Team or organisation
- With a free account you can invite colleagues from each department to answer the same questions. You get a consolidated dashboard: scores by area and department, where colleagues disagree, priority gaps and an action plan. Anonymous mode hides names and groups departments with fewer than 3 responses.
