On 10 December 2015, Statistics NZ and the Treasury co-hosted a hui with around 100 representatives from iwi/Māori, Pasifika, and non-government organisations (NGOs).
The hui provided a wealth of insights and connections that will be useful to support the delivery of Statistics NZ’s ambitious plan to unleash data for these key stakeholders. It also outlined an intention to deliver the plan in partnership with iwi/Māori, Pasifika, and NGOs.
Key themes from the day
We captured all the ideas and insights shared at the hui. This provides rich input for enhancing our planning.
The priorities identified by participants are clustered into seven priority areas, which we will integrate into our plans.
- Partnership – Build enduring relationships and trust through shared designing, leading, and decision-making.
- Pilot projects – Work on real-world issues in partnership with iwi/Māori, Pasifika, and NGOs, and use the lessons learnt to develop relevant and innovative services and products.
- One-stop-shop and easy access to data – Get information out about what data is available and how to use it, and improve online channels and tools, so it’s easier to find and use data from Statistics NZ and other agencies.
- Pasifika Strategy – Develop a Pasifika ‘data and statistical strategy’ in partnership with Pasifika leaders.
- Capability and capacity – Boost data capability through options such as: guidance, access to analysts, training courses, workforce development, apps, internships, and connections with others.
- Relevant data for iwi/Māori, Pasifika, and NGOs – Gather and share relevant data that gives a full picture for communities. This includes sharing strengths and what works within those communities, and to provide data by iwi, Pacific communities, and relevant geographies.
- Trust – Enable safety for all data users, through safe sharing, trusted processes, and support for capability
