Niho Taniwha Case Study: Health Promotion | National Public Health Service

August 2026

The Auckland Co-Design Lab


Niho Taniwha is a framework designed to bridge the gap between ‘on-the-ground’ learning with whānau and hapori, and the systems that influence investment and decision-making.

This case study shares how teams across the National Public Health Service (NPHS) in Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora are using Niho Taniwha as a learning system to support community-led action to increase childhood immunisation uptake. You can read more about this mahi here.

This is the second in a series of three case studies sharing how the Niho Taniwha framework is being used across Aotearoa. The first case study can be found here.
