The Ministry for Pacific Peoples plays a dynamic role in the development of the Pacific community throughout New Zealand, and they’re extremely proud of their guardianship of Pacific knowledge, culture and identity.
As the principal advisor on policies and interventions that improve outcomes for Pacific Peoples, they bring the Pacific voice, perspective and understanding to government’s policy.
The Ministry for Pacific Peoples is, comparatively speaking, a small agency – but they pack a big punch when it comes to championing a thriving, resilient and prosperous Pacific Aotearoa. There’s a real sense of family and a tangible commitment to reciprocity throughout the organisation.
