Annual Plan 2024 - 2025

Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated (NKII) recognises the need to review its objectives and align its strategies with the needs of whānau & hapū.

 

In January 2024 the NKII Board reviewed the 2023-2024 Annual plan to evaluate what we have achieved and carefully assess the best way to drive the organisation forward into the future. The Board identifies the importance of remaining relevant with the current environment and ensuring that our efforts contribute to our 25year vision.

​

The Board Priorities are:

  • Housing & Home Ownership, Employment, Taiao, Te Reo Māori and Education   

 

The iwi strategies are:

  • He Mahere Rautaki Hai Haumanu I Te Reo O Ngāti Kahungunu / Kahungunu, kia eke - The Revitalization of Te Reo o Ngāti Kahungunu;

  • Kahungunu Ki Uta, Kahungunu Ki Tai - Marine and Freshwater Fisheries Strategic Plan; and

  • Te Ara Toiora O Ngāti Kahungunu, the Kahungunu Wellbeing Strategy.
