Project governance

A Governance Group has been established to oversee the programme. This is made up of representatives from the four case study organisations, delegates from Te Puni Kokiri and one member of FOMA. The group will ensure that the research programme develops and progresses in a manner that is consistent with user requirements and tikanga and provide guidance on the relevance of the research to Maori landowners, both locally and nationally.
