Cultural Strategists-in-Government Program (CSIG): OFPI partners with the City of Oakland's Cultural Affairs Division (CAD) to implement CSIG, an innovative program that embeds cultural strategists in government. This collaboration aims to demonstrate the value of merging cultural insights with governmental work to fulfill the city's equity aspirations. Since its inception, CSIG has deployed strategists to 11 different city entities, with the latest expansion ongoing through 2023. The program works by engaging city workers with cultural strategists from communities most affected by inequities, fostering new ways to achieve equity goals. The ultimate goal is full integration into the City's work, and its success has drawn attention from other municipalities.
