Baseline evaluation of Mokopuna Ora
Project Background
Mokopuna Ora activities aim to provide outcomes for whānau through targeted investment. Mokopuna Ora activities align to the Whānau Ora Pou, the central foundation for measuring progress and achievement of specific Whānau Ora outcomes. The approach focusses on the 0-5-year age group, supporting whānau to build their own capability to positively parent tamariki.
Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu sought to realise two important objectives through this funding partnership, they partnered with seven providers across Te Waipounamu to achieve the outcomes sought by Mokopuna Ora through a Whānau Ora approach. Rather than dictating the activities providers should undertake in order to achieve these outcomes, contracting has encouraged providers to develop their own localised approaches. The involvement of whānau in the design of these approaches is a feature of programme design.
“We were able to redesign and refocus on what the community said that they wanted and we've had some pretty considerable success.”

Find out how we can help you
We’ll work with you to find out what’s working, where investment could be put to best use or how to improve anything not going to plan. We can help you define success and set tangible, measurable goals. And we talk in real language so you can understand and engage with the findings. We engage with the community to conduct community research and consultations for private companies, trusts, government agencies, NGOs and more. But we have a special interest in research that has a purpose - to better society and teach lessons. We aim to help those we work with build capacity to enact positive change.
