Partnerships and Programmes

The Partnerships and Programmes team focuses on building strong and resilient communities utilising a range of prevention and community development approaches which lead to sustainable and long term outcomes for whānau, communities and whole of populations. 

We do this by strategically partnering. We also partner to support New Zealanders by ensuring services and programmes are accessible and available to them.
