As a summary, we have included a flowchart of the steps in setting up a long-term Māori language development plan for your iwi and hapū.

Set long-term objectives for the Māori language in your iwi and hapū.
(Where do you want to be?)
 
Establish where your iwi and hapū is currently with regard to the language.
(Where are you now?)
 
Set up a series of shortterm goals, and a work programme to achieve those goals
(How to get from a to b?)
 
Nominate someone to take responsibility for implementing the work programme.
 
Investigate the funding that is available.
 
Put your work programme into action.
 
Monitor your progress towards your goals and objectives.
 
Review and revise your long-term objectives and your short-term goals.
 

We are aware that the development of Māori language plans for iwi and hapū can be quite a daunting proposition. We are happy to provide further information and advice. If you would like help, please contact;
