    Our Strategic Priorities
8

    As a small agency with a wide remit to support outcomes for almost one-sixth
    of the population of Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Puni Kōkiri has to make careful
    choices about where to focus its efforts. Our three strategic priorities and nine
    focus areas reflect the organisation’s intention to provide more focussed effort
    within a narrower work programme.

A number of distinct focus areas sit within each strategic priority, highlighting
where Te Puni Kōkiri will place the greatest emphasis over the next four years.
Each focus area has a set of goals that guide how and where we support
whānau, hapū and iwi Māori to meet their needs and aspirations, as well as
improve the performance across the whole of Government. These activities
range from advising and influencing Ministers and agencies to ensure systems
and policies are effective for Māori, and through advice, brokering and direct
investment to whānau, hāpu and iwi.

Each focus area includes a high-level outcome reflecting our desired state for Aotearoa New Zealand,
and the goals to be achieved by us in one year (by June 2021) and four years (by June 2024).
