Guidelines for Research and Evaluation with Māori

The Centre for Social Research and Evaluation (CSRE) creates strong evidential knowledge which underpins social development policy and service delivery across government agencies. Research, evaluation and data analysis provides a deeper understanding of the social sector. The dissemination and promotion of knowledge will encourage informed debate on emerging and enduring social issues.

The Guidelines for Research and Evaluation with Māori have been developed to assist CSRE staff and contractors who undertake projects that require input from Māori.

The Guidelines project is part of a much wider work programme that will culminate in the development of a Best Practice Framework for the Centre. Other projects include a set of guidelines for Ethics, Contracting and Pacific Peoples. The objective of the best practice work programme is to provide a set of tools that enhance the Centre's ability to carry out effective and appropriate research with a wide range of communities.
