​Racial Equity Impact Assessment Toolkit
A Racial Equity Impact Assessment (REIA) is a vital tool for analyzing how different racial and ethnic groups will likely be affected by a proposed action or decision. Use of an REIA, such as this one, minimizes unanticipated adverse consequences in a variety of contexts, including the analysis of proposed policies, institutional practices, programs, plans and budgetary decisions. It also provides the opportunity to prevent institutional racism and identify new options to remedy long-standing inequities.
