Bold plan to boost Māori economic prosperity
A regional strategy designed to boost Māori prosperity has been launched by the regional council..
The strategy focuses on five primary areas, each supported by an integrated range of actions to deliver economic, cultural, environmental, social and leadership outcomes for Māori over the next 10 years.
Coordination of the project was led by Te Puritanga Jefferies, Senior Māori Economic Development Advisor within Te Pane Matua Taio (Greater Wellington), and supported by contractors from Orauariki, Wellington School of Business and Government.
The strategy is a first for Wellington and a key objective is to increase the number of Māori in Wellington’s professional workforce.
The strategy is called Te Matarau a Māui: Collaborative Pathways to Prosperous Māori Futures..
