Kia Reorua te Manatū Taonga | Core Internal Goal
2. Our core internal goal is to become a bilingual organisation by 2040 and to normalise te reo Māori within our organisation. By using the term
‘bilingual organisation’ we mean that we wil be able to conduct our core business in te reo Māori and English in a cultural y competent and safe way.
Te Maihi Karauna | Core External Goal
3.
Kia māhorahora te reo is the Crown’s vision for te reo Maori in the Maihi Karauna, the Crown’s Māori Language Strategy, which expresses its role to
ensure that New Zealanders value, learn and use te reo Māori. When this vision is achieved we expect that te reo Māori wil be a normal part of daily
life for wider Aotearoa New Zealand, and that te reo is used by everyone, every day, every way and everywhere.
4. The role of the Crown within Te Whare o te Reo Mauri Ora, the overall active partnership model, is to support the Maihi Māori by ensuring that
government systems we manage or influence, create and foster the necessary societal conditions for te reo Māori to thrive. Within the Crown’s vision
there are three key outcomes, Manatū Taonga leads the first:
a. Aotearoatanga: 85% of New Zealanders (or more) will value te reo Māori as a key part of national identity.
b. Mātauranga: One million New Zealanders (or more) will have the ability and confidence to talk about at least basic things in te reo Māori.
c. Hononga: 150,000 Māori aged 15 and over wil use te reo Māori as much as English.
5. Te reo Māori offers an opportunity for a shared sense of national identity, and it is important that this is reflected in the activities of government.
Building a national sense of value for te reo Māori is also important in creating favourable societal conditions for its revitalisation.

7. This plan begins on
14 September 2020 and will be evaluated and reviewed after 12 months.
8. The Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks included in this plan apply to the internal and external goals, outcomes, outputs and priorities. The Maihi
Karauna also has its own Monitoring and Evaluation framework.
9. For the purpose of this framework, the following definitions apply:
a.
Monitoring is the continuous and systematic collection, analysis and reporting of data. Monitoring can focus on activities and outputs, or
outcomes through measures and indicators. Monitoring information can be used to indicate the extent of progress in implementation, and to
measure performance against expectations.
b.
Evaluation is the periodic assessment of progress towards and achievement of the outcomes of a programme, project or in this case, a plan.
Evaluation can identify success factors and any issues with implementation of an intervention or activity.
10. The monitoring component of this framework will allow us to track implementation and progress towards achieving the goals and outcomes. The
evaluation component will focus on if and how the plan is effective in achieving its objectives, and where improvements can be made.
11. The logic models below show the highest level of expected results in the monitoring and evaluation.
