Working with Tokona Te Raki to identify stepping stones to success for rangatahi Māori


October 2021   |   Reports


In 2020-2021 the Social Wellbeing Agency worked with Tokona Te Raki, a collaborative led by Ngāi Tahu to increase Māori participation, success and progression in education and employment outcomes. We participated in joint mixed methods research (which uses both quantitative and qualitative research) to identify the most important boosters, barriers, and levers to help young Māori succeed.

 Our work involved:

  • Helping identify measures for analysis, including quantitative Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) analysis and qualitative interviews with focus groups
  • Developing a tool within the IDI to represent timelines of critical events in the lives of rangatahi Māori 

Tokona Te Raki has now published its report about the project. The views and recommendations in that report are those of Tokona Te Raki.
