PA R T T W O 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.

PA R T T H R E E Our Focus Areas 11 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).
