The aim is to achieve a productive, innovative, and export orientated Māori economy that will support better paying jobs and higher living standards. The first Action Plan covers the period 2012-2017 and includes 26 action points which include areas such as education and on-job training; governance of Māori assets and access to capital; land productivity; and taking Brand Māori and Brand New Zealand to the world.
