Information on the session

Waikato-Tainui is progressing with the development of the next Five-Year Plan 2025-29. We recently opened koorero with Te Whakakitenga to consolidate the engagement that we’ve had over the past years to understand gaps and new whakaaro to input into the planning process.

The theme for the next Five-Year Plan is Enabling Mana Motuhake, a plan we are dedicating to creating the conditions for marae and whaanau to successfully take responsibility for planning, resourcing and delivering on what is important to them across the cultural, social, spiritual, environmental, and economic spheres.

From your feedback and insights and with direction from the leadership team there has been an emergence of the key themes below (referred to as objective areas), around which the plan is beginning to take shape.

1. Growing our people - Investing in the mindsets, skills, knowledge, and tools of whaanau and marae to position them to choose their path to mana motuhake, how they will travel, and who they might travel with.
2. Taiao resilience - Ensuring that our marae, whaanau, and infrastructure are resilient enough to protect and enhance the cultural, social, environmental, and economic wellbeing of our communities in the face of climate change. Mana motuhake of marae and community will be underpinned by our ability and capacity to mitigate, and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
3. Scaling our impact - Generating broader and deeper outcomes from financial capital in a way that enables the capital to be recycled and reused to generate further holistic outcomes.
4. Targeting our spend - Leveraging our collective strength and targeting our spend in a way that generates strong social returns but without the need to recycle capital.
5. Readiness to devolve - Develop the strategy and framework to guide how the organisation builds its readiness to successfully enable mana motuhake.  This will include how the organisation finds new ways of working to deliver on the plan.
6. Strong organisation - Ensuring that the organisation is well equipped to effectively, efficiently, and robustly deliver on the Five-Year Plan, to measure, report and communicate results and success, and to protect and optimise settlement mechanisms.

The aim of this session is to explore each of the six areas above to gather your ideas on what would be most impactful for marae and community.

We want to ensure that we are led by the needs and aspirations of our marae and whaanau and are being guided throughout the development of the plan.

This feedback will continue guiding our team.
