The Racial Equity Index (REIndex) collective was formed by a dedicated group of people who wanted to explore the lack of and need for a racial equity index within the international development sector. The Racial Equity Index is a global group of BIPOC people (Black, Indigenous and People of Color). All group members are currently all volunteers.

In an effort to protect anonymity (as the work of holding institutions accountable can be met with reprisals from within the global development complex), The Racial Equity Index group member’s names are not publicly released unless the group member themselves have consented to be identified as a member of The Racial Equity Index.
