Hon WILLIE JACKSON: The best way to have stability in post-pandemic Aotearoa is by investing in women and young people. Wāhine and rangatahi Māori have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, both economically and in their health and wellbeing. Research has demonstrated that local and whānau/family leadership is critical to the recovery and resilience of communities. Te Puni Kōkiri will work directly with communities to develop programmes for women and rangatahi based on local knowledge and intelligence, leading to outcomes and insights on whānau resilience.
