Toolkit Overview

EPU Toolkits enable people to go from a big idea to implementation of policy change by offering step-by-step guides and case studies of policy measures enacted throughout the South. This includes:

  • Outlining the steps required
  • Identifying the best practices used
  • Capturing the lessons learned
  • Sharing the equity lens applied
