VISION
We are committed to improving the quality of life and wellbeing for all Manukau people and to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, by working to make Manukau a healthier place to live, work and play.
This includes a commitment to strengthening, fostering and supporting whanau, hapu and iwi development. We acknowledge the essential role of tino rangatiratanga and whanau ora in Maori health and wellbeing.
We support the goals of Tomorrow’s Manukau - Manukau Āpōpō.
We uphold the World Health Organisation's (WHO) global vision of 'Health for All' which has initiated and maintained Healthy Cities partnerships in Manukau since the first Charter was signed in 1989.
Te Ora o Manukau is a partner with Manukau the Healthy City. It is a collective of Maori committed to:
- Whanau ora (enhancing family health and wellbeing)
- Kotahitanga (working collaboratively)
- Tikanga Māori (preferred practice models for Māori)
- Tino rangatiratanga (by Māori, for Māori ).
This is the fourth Healthy City Charter.
We agree to:
- Work in partnership, share resources and co-operate to protect and improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Manukau
- Work to ensure that the policies and actions of our individual organisations contribute to that goal
- Communicate openly, with appropriate consultation and response times
- Work to promote supportive social and community environments
- Value and respect the contributions of each partner
- Collaborate with other organisations to improve health outcomes in Manukau
- Share responsibility for achieving goals and evaluate the impact of our actions and celebrate achievements
- Retain Te Ora o Manukau’s role of monitoring and strategic planning
- Support the role of Komiti Kaiwhakahaere, Manukau the Healthy City Coordinator.
