A benchmark paper called “Positioning Te Puni Kōkiri for strategic impact” shows seven stages how Te Puni Kōkiri will improve Māori wellbeing and assure public sector agencies are effective for Māori.
Te Puni Kōkiri will:
- commence a formal monitoring programme to provide assurance that the strategies, policies and services of public sector agencies are effective in uplifting Māori wellbeing outcomes
- continue to lead policy advice and strengthen its approach to implementation on issues of specific importance to Māori, such as whenua, te reo Māori, mātauranga and intellectual property, Māori media and digital innovation
- target interdepartmental advice to matters most likely to have a direct impact on wellbeing outcomes for whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori
- co-create strategic advice, as appropriate, with the State Services Commission and the Treasury on system levers and frameworks that will lift the quality of the wider public sector system performance for Māori
- broker opportunities with whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori through its regional footprint in areas that are strategic priorities for the government and provide core hub support for government agencies
- invest in innovative initiatives that build the capability and readiness of whānau and Māori communities to achieve their aspirations, leading to intergenerational transformation and
- consider the impact of existing specialist advice and services and provide advice on the feasibility of transferring them to the appropriate agencies
