Reception and impact

The IAIA has been cited by United States Government agencies in their evaluation of the impact of various activities. For instance, the United States Department of Energy and the United States Environmental Protection Agency both list the IAIA as a non-profit organization to consult for environmental impact assessment.[3][19] IAIA prepared a monograph on social impact assessment for the National Marine Fisheries Service in 1993/1994.[20] Delaware Health and Social Services cited an IAIA paper in its fact sheet on health impact assessment.[21]

The World Health Organization lists the IAIA among the "Other organizational links" in the arena of impact assessment.[2] WHO and IAIA also co-sponsored a conference on health impact assessment.[22] Experts from the International Association for Impact Assessment also played an important role in designing the World Bank's Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) materials.[23]
