Assessment of Investments for Tongan People in Aotearoa

Pasefika Proud are committed to supporting Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand to determine their unique community aspirations and implement community-led solutions to achieve them.

The Pacific community plans are a key mechanism for this – our journey began with the Maneaba Strategic Action Plan for Kiribati communities in New Zealand in 2016, Te Olaga Ola Filemu the Tuvalu Family Violence Prevention Plan in 2019, the Kāiga Tokelau Wellbeing National Strategic Plan and Lalawa Ni Tiko Vinaka the National Fijian Wellbeing Plan in 2022, and most recently, Moui Olaola the National Niue Strategic Wellbeing Plan in 2023.

At present, we are supporting the Tongan community of Aotearoa New Zealand to develop a National Tongan Community Plan, employing the leadership of Emeline Afeaki-Mafile’o OM (NZ Order of Merit)  and the team at Fofola Consultancy Ltd to facilitate this. Key to this work is engaging our Tongan community across the motu to express their desires, thoughts, and opinions, and have the opportunity to contribute to this collective effort.

We invite all of our Aotearoa New Zealand-based Tongan community to take part in a quick survey to support 'An Assessment of the Wellbeing of Tonga People in New Zealand', which also allows you to express interest in staying in touch as the work progresses.
