WHAT'S NEXT?
In your site context, how will the community and government learn, work, and be mutually accountable
for using integrated data to inform, evaluate, and co-create structures, policies, practices, and
narratives for equity?
Questions to guide your thinking should include these:
How will community expertise be at the forefront throughout the data life cycle? What
capacity will need to be developed to ensure that this occurs?
How will data use help communities interrogate systems, rather than just inform how to
“treat” communities with additional services and programs?
How will a racial equity lens be incorporated throughout the data life cycle?
How will the culture, policies, practices, and expectations of the agency/collaborative shift
to center racial equity?
How will the agency/collaborative initially focus upon, continuously learn from, and sustain
institutional-systems change?
