Community Sector Taskforce (2004)

The Community Sector Taskforce has been set up as a result of work by the Community-Government Relationship Steering Group.

Principles

• A commitment to the Tiriti/Treaty of Waitangi underpins all the projects.
• Sector wide inclusiveness.
• Sustainable outcomes.
• Work with the sector not for the sector.
• Regionally driven projects supported by national organisations building on strengths.
• Utilise collaborative and organic processes – acknowledging diversity and working with flexibility to achieve commitment, appropriate solutions and durability.
• Projects should not duplicate but build upon existing services, processes, and organisations including partnerships external to the sector.
