Investing in Crown/Māori relationships – Budget 2022

We’re supporting effective partnerships.

Investing in Māori-led, MSD-enabled Post-Treaty Settlement relationships.

This initiative ensures that Māori-Crown partnerships are core to the Ministry of Social Development’s commitment towards kotahitanga – Partnering for greater impact.

Developing relationship agreements and action plans for post-Treaty settlements has seen new ways of working emerge.

  • MSD has eight relationship agreements with iwi and Māori developed through the treaty settlement process.
  • Iwi-led wellbeing strategies leverage the knowledge of their whānau and communities to achieve better wellbeing outcomes.

Funding will enable effective engagement and partnership with iwi and Māori who have Relationship Agreements with MSD as part of their Treaty Settlement.

  • This investment enables iwi and Māori partners to lead their own wellbeing and provides better access to support.
