In order to help develop the identified high-impact topics, there should be specific capacity building and support to improve high-impact content in underrepresented communities and about underrepresented content. This aims to address two gaps: 1. Lack or bias about high-impact content that leaves out underrepresented communities, and 2. Lack of contributors from those communities who are able and interested in developing content. This is why capacity building is needed to allow those communities to bridge gaps in their high-impact content. Regional and Thematic Hubs may be able to systematically support this effort.
Advocate for and build capacity around content creation and quality writing in areas where both editors and content are missing (or content is known to be biased), for example through regional and thematic hubs.
