Hon WILLIE JACKSON: The strengthening wāhine leadership initiative will support projects that promote women in Māori leadership and resilience according to their own tikanga and mātauranga. Community providers in priority areas will work with wāhine participants to build their cultural capability, leadership, and influencing skills, which is really crucial. Robust demographic data and insights on and from women involved with the programme will be collected, with the aim of improving policy and delivery for wāhine Māori across Government.
