Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2007

Crown Entity Monitoring

Monitoring of Te Māngai Pāho, Te taura Whiri i te reo Māori, and the Māori television service was carried out within Te Puni Kōkiri by the Risk and Assurance unit with input from both the Policy wāhanga and finance unit. Quarterly reports were received from each entity and regular meetings held with them.

In addition Te Puni Kōkiri provided advice about the development of the key planning documents, such as the Statements of Intent. Through this process, Te Puni Kōkiri took active steps to ensure that these entities addressed the goals and functions of the Māori Language Strategy in their planning and reporting.

Performance Measurement

With regards to establishing the cost-effectiveness of our interventions, as required under section 40(d) (ii) of the Public finance Act 1989, the Ministry is still working on ways to develop suitable measures. Although our core work of providing policy advice does not lend itself to direct cost-effectiveness analysis (cost per unit of benefit obtained), the Ministry is looking to link interventions that Te Puni Kōkiri deliver to desired outcomes. The ongoing work on outcomes mapping, improving proposed indicators and building an evaluation infrastructure will enable us to establish a suitable set of cost-effectiveness measures to include in the next statement of intent. Te Puni Kōkiri is developing an outcomes framework and the elements comprising the framework are currently being tested.
