Tai Timu Tai Pari is a regionally focussed procurement and commissioning agency. We lobby government to affect policy and decision making that improves the lives and wellbeing of whanau across Te Tai Tokerau (Northland).
We were established to serve the interests and needs of the region, its communities, and people through our partners, both current and future. We seek to strengthen our local communities by enabling resilience through systems change, equity and investment. We do this by facilitating collaborative voice and joined-up responses that meet the ever-evolving needs of our communities.
We provide back-office support and operate a knowledge hub that helps to generate opportunities and build the capacity of Maori and other Non-Government Organisations (NGOs).
Our efforts to lobby and work with Government enable our Partners and wider network to support the most vulnerable in our communities to thrive and flourish.
Our Values
He Aha Te Mea Nui O Te Ao?

What is important? It is people, it is people, it is people
Tai Timu Tai Pari and Partners share the above key values to ensure that they provide focused, high quality and responsive delivery of community-based services while strengthening networks with external providers, agencies, and services.
An important part of the relationship will be the retention of the sovereignty of each organisation and respect for tribal boundaries, Tikanga and Kawa.

compassion to care enough for those affected by inequalities and to challenge comfort zones in an effort to make a healthy difference for the population we serve.
