WHÄNAU ORA
Six new collectives of health and
social service providers have been
given the go-ahead to develop a
plan for their transformation to
whänau-centred services as part
of the Whänau Ora approach.
In 2010, 25 collectives
throughout the country were
selected to develop a Programme
of Action (POA) for Whänau Ora.
Last year’s Budget allocated
further funding to extend
the model to eight key
localities and the Whänau
Ora Governance Group
recently gave approval to
collectives in six of these
areas to begin developing
POAs.
The POA will reflect the
voice of whänau – their
dreams and aspirations
– and articulate the
organisational changes
that need to happen to
achieve the whänau-driven
outcomes.
It will enable the collectives
to identify opportunities
to enhance what they
currently do and, at the
same time, seek new and
innovative opportunities
to do things differently to
support whänau to realise their
aspirations.
The final two priority locations
– Hauraki and Manawatü – are
close to completing Programmes
of Development.

WHÄNAU ORA KI
TÜWHARETOA
Whänau Ora ki Tüwharetoa
represents four providers who
have been delivering health,
social and education services to
families in the tribal rohe for the
past two decades.
Colin Rangi, chair of the Ngäti
Tüwharetoa Whänau Ora Interim
Governance Group, says the iwi
has a long history of working
collaboratively as evidenced
by its role in the formation
of a united front for Mäori
advancement.
At a hui at Pukawa on the
western shores of Lake Taupö in
1856 – convened by Iwikau te
Heuheu – tribal leaders elected
the first Mäori King, Pötatau Te
Wherowhero.
Mr Rangi says Ngäti Tüwharetoa
has historically pulled together
in times of hardship and need for
its people. In responding
to the impact of the
1918 flu pandemic and
subsequent economic
depression, for example,
the iwi employed the first
doctors in the region.
“Again, we will need
to come together to
address issues of poverty,
unemployment, cultural
revitalisation and
kaitiakitanga working
with hapü, whänau
and tribal economic
authorities to improve
both the current and
future state for our iwi.
“The Whänau Ora
process has created
a platform for Ngäti
Tüwharetoa to reevaluate
how we engage
on the kaupapa of whänau
development, to re-assess
the way in which we must all
develop as ‘Tüwharetoa Inc.’
and how best to understand
and provide for the needs and
aspirations of our whänau.
“Our aim is to ensure that
Whänau Ora is not merely
a catch cry of the latest
government but a movement
to meaningfully, positively
transform the lives of people
living in the Ngäti
Tüwharetoa rohe.”
