Many state governments are already focused on collecting data and measuring equity. Some states have begun working on assessing disparities and improving evidence based policy making for more targeted resource allocation. Since state budgets and program capacities are limited, it’s important for state data leaders to know how to allocate help to those who need it most. However, without equitable data processes in place, understanding communities, allocating resources, and designing programs fairly can be difficult.
This guide contains insights that have helped state CDOs move their data equity initiatives forward. By better understanding the work and various strategies currently being employed, data leaders can gradually improve their public services by strengthening equitable data infrastructure in their states or agencies.
