Advocating for Māori succeeding as Māori in the public service

June 2024

The change we want to see

💥 A bicultural public sector that upholds the mana of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and makes better decisions for Aotearoa New Zealand.

💥 Excellence in the public service including the appropriate application of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, culturally competent staff at all levels, and the use of frameworks by Māori, with Māori.

💥 Māori public servants as leaders and a talent pipeline of young professionals who are nurtured within the public sector.

💥 A continuous improvement of the public sector to respond and deliver to the needs and aspirations of Māori and all New Zealanders.

We’ve delivered a series of events called Kai Whai Hua to help connect the shakers and do-ers via kai and kōrero.

Namunamuā te kai, namunamuā te kōrero!
