Work Programme
The Taskforce continues to build on the work of previous years which focuses on its Vision and enhances its strategies.
Sustainability / Whakapumautanga
Replenishment
One of the first tasks of the Taskforce was to replenish the Taskforce to its full compliment of members. With the recent appointment of Kitty Chiu, Anna Cottrell and Pancha Narayanan to the Tangata Tiriti caucus this has been achieved.
Taskforce Infrastructure
To become a Sector-led network at local, regional and national levels, we need to develop an infrastructure that ensures the Sector is connected. The Taskforce will develop a draft infrastructure for discussion with the Sector through local and regional forums.
Connected / Hononga
Community Collectives
The Taskforce continues to support the Sector being connected and working effectively together. Stage Three of the 'Weaving Communities Together' has been finalised. We received 18 applications from a vast range of communities. The Programme Management Team shortlisted and invited 8 organisations to submit their 'Proof of Concept'.
The Taskforce is pleased to announce that three organisations have been approved to progress their projects to implementation. Details of those projects will be announced shortly via Te Harakeke and displayed on our 'Weaving Communities Together' page.
Regional Forums
The Taskforce will continue to hold forum to talk to the Sector. There are seventeen (17) regional forums planned for 2010. Details of the forums will be updated on this website.
Informed / Whakaaturanga
Weekly Panui
Te Harakeke is the weekly panui that is dispatched from the Community Sector Taskforce. Its intent is to keep the Sector informed of events throughout the motu (country). If you wish to distribute news, events, job vacancies or anything of interest to the Sector, forward your information to Iris at awe@paradise.net.nz by Friday of each week and it will be distributed in the following week's edition. Te Harakeke features five components:
- Te Whitau - A column provding updates on the work of the Taskforce and alerting the Sector to activities that affect the Sector
- What's on and Where - any activities that are of interest to the Sector anywhere throughout NZ
- Media Alerts - this is any information that is of interest to the Sector
- Job Vacancies - Jobs that are available in the Sector
- What's on Top - Major items that impact on the whole of the Sector
Workshops and Conferences
The Taskforce are also able to conduct workshops on topics that assist in strengthening local and regional communities and to present at relevant Sector conferences to inform the Sector of the work of the Taskforce.
If you would like the Taskforce to come and facilitate a workshop or present at your conference/hui feel free to contact the National Development Manager to discuss it.
