As a small agency with a wide remit to support outcomes for one-sixth of the population of Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Puni Kōkiri must make careful choices about where to focus its efforts.
We are currently updating this section to reflect our new Strategic Intentions. Please check back soon.
Whānau Ora
Whānau Ora puts whānau and families in control of the services they need to work together, build on their strengths and achieve their aspirations.
Māori Language and Culture
Promoting and preserving Māori language and culture enhances our cultural identity and heritage, and our economic and social potential.
Iwi and Maōri Relations with the Crown
This information has been migrated from Te Arawhiti to Te Puni Kōkiri as part of the transfer of functions between the two agencies.
Monitoring and mentoring
We monitor and mentor departments and agencies to ensure the services they provide to and for Māori are adequate.
Māori Economic Development & Growth
We work with Government agencies and support Iwi and Māori relationships with the Government to achieve Māori economic development and growth.
