SOPHIA Working Groups

SOPHIA’s Working Groups produce important resources to advance the field of HIA. Historically, Working Groups convened at the HIA Practitioner Workshop (formerly HIA of the Americas) every 18 months to define issues and priorities, and collaborate between Workshops to produce resources. Now Working Groups meet remotely on a regular schedule to work on projects and create resources. Information about SOPHIA’s current Working Groups, including contact information for leads, can be found in the links below. We welcome participation in Working Groups and the determination to form new Working Groups!
