Tū Pono: Te Mana Kaha ō te Whānau
Project Background
Tū Pono: Te Mana Kaha ō te Whānau (Tū Pono), is a flax roots Te Waipounamu movement to effect change so that whānau can live healthy lives free of violence. The strategy was developed to support the work of whānau, hapū, iwi and kaupapa Māori entities to improve their knowledge and application of safe, effective, whānau-centred and evidence-based strategies. The purpose of this evaluation was twofold.
Firstly, to present the development of Tū Pono: Te Mana Kaha ō te Whānau since it was first seeded as an idea in 2015, and secondly to evaluate the impact of the approach for whānau and investigate opportunities for continuous improvement.
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.
