Supporting Government Partnerships with Māori Through Multi-Year Māori Trades and Training Fund Contracts

19 April 2022.

This paper seeks agreement to conduct an expense transfer in the Māori Trades and Training Fund (MTTF) appropriation of $33.319m from 2021/22 appropriations to future years, when it is expected to be spent. This expense transfer will allow the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to honour multi-year contracts with Māori entities providing by-Māori-for-Māori training to achieve better employment outcomes for Māori.
