Fifty-seven successful Iwi and Māori NGOs were drawn together from five regions throughout Aotearoa: Taitokerau, Tamaki Makaurau, Taranaki, Tairawhiti and Te Waipounamu. In each region at least two NGOs were identified from each of six sectors (housing, employment and training, health, social services, justice, education). Providers were asked to share their organisational stories and to talk about their aspirations and work. The determinants of their success were then analysed.

Quotes from the NGOs were developed into a powerpoint presentation by Kataraina Pipi
