Advancing equity: Merging 'bottom up' initiatives with 'top down' strategies

By Jane Figgis, Anne Butorac, Berwyn Clayton, Dave Meyers, Mary Dickie, Jeff Malley, Rod McDonald

The report concludes that many equity programs remain stuck in the seeding stage and fail to thrive and grow. It suggests that this is because current funding approaches place too much emphasis on starting initiatives and not enough on the development and scale-up of promising ones.
