Equity guiding questions
About the questions
These guiding questions were created to help all of us reflect on equity in different ways throughout each implementation action or activity.
We developed them by reflecting on our own equity practice, performing a review of the literature, and having important discussions with people in the field.
We’ve simplified these guiding questions since first releasing them in 2021 to facilitate better discussion and understanding (and also added new questions based on what we’ve been hearing from changemakers!).
How to use them
Use the questions for self-reflection and with your team to help you consider equity at every stage of the implementation process.
Below you can click on the buttons under each pathway or level of the iceberg to see all questions.
