E Tipu, E Rea – Ngā Tini Whetū – The Collateral Change For Reducing Child Poverty 2022
The Ngā Tini Whetū pilot undertaken by the Whānau Ora Commissoning Agency has at the heart lowering the curve of child poverty in Aotearoa. Ngā Tini Whetū was funded through cross-sectoral collaboration, involving government agencies, but implemented through a kaupapa Māori, whānau-centric, holistic approach. It aligns with the desired outcomes for whānau for ACC, Oranga Tamariki and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s (DPMC) child poverty strategies. This report outlines the need for all of us to come together and collaborate as one entity to effectively lower the disheartening statistics that exist in our communities, focussing on immediate and progressive results.
