Practice Foundations: Whanaungatanga Model of Funding
With Maraea Teepa Ngāi Tūhoe
Nested inside of Oranga Tamariki, Tākai is a community-led movement to support whānau with a vision of ‘kia matua rautia - a thriving village raising children together’.
In this session Maraea Teepa (Ngāi Tūhoe), Manager, Voices of Whānau and Community shares Tākai’s journey towards a developing fit-for-purpose and values-led approach to investing into communities for intergenerational wellbeing.
We will explore and wānanga around the practices that are emerging as important to making a shift towards relational commissioning, and putting into practice the all of government Social Sector Commissioning approach. Lessons from scaling the Whanaungatanga Model of Funding approach into another agency and emerging findings from interviews with organisations on the other side of the commissioning relationship will also be shared.
Practice Foundations is a monthly public sector community of practice event hosted online by the Auckland Co-design Lab in collaboration. We have a shared interest in promoting and prioritising ethical whānau-centred and led design and innovation practice and the active involvement of community, families, whānau, aiga and rangatahi in wellbeing, design, decision-making and leadership.
