1.3 Evaluation Objectives

The growth and popularity of Te Puni Kōkiri investments in the SMG programme provide an opportunity to learn about the investments and the impact they are having on Māori organisations.

The objectives of this evaluation are to:

• understand what is good governance and management practice for Māori organisations;
• understand the extent to which investments in governance and management have been effective, and the range of outcomes achieved; and
• guide future investments in governance and management initiatives and inform future programme design.
