InterAktive December 2016 - Issue 3

Targeted Population Groups (TPG)
Aktive, Sport NZ and Auckland Council are partnering in the new Targeted
Population Groups initiative. The initiative supports innovative projects
that demonstrate a collaborative approach to reducing barriers to
participation in sport and recreation at a community level by Asian
and Pasifika Aucklanders.
There is a particular focus towards supporting Indian
and Samoan families to be more regularly and
permanently active in sport or recreation.
Initiatives are being rolled out across Auckland through
three main delivery groups - the four local RSTs,
10 national sports organisations (NSOs) and a TPG
Innovation and Development Fund, open to wider
community organisations, including commercial partners.
As partners in the initiative Aktive, Sport NZ
and Auckland Council have key roles to ensure
investment is coordinated, efficient and effective.
Local RST TPG Proposals
Draft proposals from Sport Waitakere, Harbour Sport,
Counties-Manukau Sport and Sport Auckland and are
being worked through to agree outcome requirements
and expectations.
National Sport Organisations
Ten national sport organisations (NSOs) are developing
proposals to reduce barriers to participation by
low-participation groups in their codes. The codes were
brought together for the first time in September as part
of an innovative approach to develop, share and start a
shared learning Community of Practice. The NSOs are
Football, Rugby League, Netball, Hockey, Basketball,
Touch, Badminton, Volleyball, Waka Ama and Softball.
Innovation and Development Fund
The TPG Innovation and Development Fund is intended
to support innovative projects that demonstrate
a collaborative approach to reducing barriers to
participation in sport and recreation at a community
level by Asian and Pasifika Aucklanders.

of delivery to increase participation by the target
groups. The intention is that insights from projects
will be captured and shared with the sector.

all projects.
