What approaches will be most effective for integrated data infrastructure development and data use?
Consider each question across three core audiences: policy makers, agency, and community. How can
practices such as capacity-building, collaborating and power sharing, and centering and empowering
community be designed to create impact?
Questions to guide your thinking should include these:
What work has been done with policy leaders, agency directors, department staff, and
front-line employees to prepare them for this work?
How has the agency/collaborative engaged with community members, and in what manner?
How will the agency/collaborative ensure that the bene昀椀ts of data integration outweigh the
risks?
How will community members whose data are in the system receive capacity-building?
What structures will be implemented, including funding, training, and ongoing relationship
building?
What role does community organizing play in the design and use of data?
We recommend these resources to move forward:
