In 2006/07, three new Non-Departmental Output Expenses were established to enable Te Puni Kōkiri allocate non-departmental funding appropriations against the Māori Potential Framework. The three new Non-Departmental Output Expenses; Whakamana (leadership), Mātauranga (knowledge/skills) and Rawa (resources) are a direct link to the three strategic investment areas which were identified through the Māori Potential Approach.

The appropriations are; Whānau Development – Action and Research, Whānau Development – Enterprise, Whānau Development – Sport and Culture, Capacity Assessment, Building Capacity in Māori Communities, Direct Resourcing of Local Level Solutions and Local Level Solutions/Development.
