Our strategic framework provides a line of sight between our vision, our purpose, our role, our three strategic priorities, and our nine focus areas that best position the Ministry for strategic impact. Underpinning this are our values that reflect how we work within Te Puni Kōkiri, across Government, and with whānau, hapū, iwi Māori, and Māori entities.
