Data Equity in Action: A Report on Inclusive Evidence Practices

This report explores strategies for inclusive data collection, analysis, and dissemination, including:

• Engaging local communities in survey design
• Integrating intersectional metrics (age, gender, socioeconomic status)
• Auditing datasets for bias before policy use

Projects implementing inclusive evidence practices saw measurable improvements in policy outcomes, such as better healthcare access and increased social service uptake.

Equitable evidence practices are not just ethical—they improve the accuracy, trustworthiness, and impact of policy decisions.
