Relationship agreement consultation
The Kia Tutahi Standing Together Steering Group has been appointed to develop the Community-Government Relationship Agreement. Over the past few months the Steering Group has kept you updated with information about our work and the development of a draft Relationship Agreement.
Draft Relationship Agreement between Communities of Aotearoa New Zealand and the Government of New Zealand
Kia Tutahi is about Communities and Government working well together to benefit all.
The Kia Tutahi-Standing Together steering group is a joint group of community members and government officials appointed by the Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector.
The group drafted a relationship agreement setting out a vision and principles for how government and communities can work together.
Kia Tutahi's consultation process sought to talk with communities about:
- How do we ensure that the agreement is put into practice?
- How should we get the message out?
- How do we keep things on track?
- How will we know its working and how will we do it right?
