2. An economy of mana

Our economy isn’t working for everyone and too many people in south and west Auckland have been left behind. We’re also at a crossroads in how we treat te taiao, our planetary life support system.

We collaborate across the public, private and third sectors to demonstrate how to accelerate economic equity whilst upholding and enhancing the mana of ordinary people and the natural world.

We back Māori and Pasifika entrepreneurs to be pioneers of the economy of mana.

We tackle the big issues impacting on whānau and ‘aiga by disrupting in-work poverty and wealth inequality.

We deliver programmes that move south and west Aucklanders in to higher paid, sunrise industries that offer genuine careers that are fit for the future.

We spearhead a Green New Deal because we can’t take for granted that transitions to a low emissions economy will be equitable or that opportunities and benefits will reach south and west Auckland.
