Equity Audits and Impact Assessments
Government decisions affect different groups differently, yet these differential impacts often go unexamined until harm is done. Equity audits and impact assessments offer tools for anticipating how policies, programs, and practices affect various populationsâparticularly those already marginalized or disadvantaged. When done well, these analyses can prevent harm, redirect resources, and improve outcomes for those who need them most. When done poorly, they become box-checking exercises that provide cover for inequitable decisions.
