Centering Equity in Collective Impact

John Kania, Junious Williams, Paul Schmitz, Sheri Brady, Mark Kramer, Jennifer Splansky Juster · Stanford Social Innovation Review · 2022

An article from the Winter 2022 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review in which the authors of the collective impact approach revisit it with equity at the centre. It sets out 5 strategies: use local data and context to aim solutions, pursue systems change alongside programmes, share power within the collaborative, listen to and act with the community, and build equity-focused leadership and accountability. Coalitions and funders use it to review their own collective impact work.
