Success Frameworks for Place-Based Initiatives: Design and toolkit (Dec 2020)

Success Frameworks for Place-Based Initiatives: Design and toolkit released. Purpose of the report detailed below.

The purpose of this report is to present the success frameworks for Manaaki Tairāwhiti and the South Auckland Social Wellbeing Board (SASWB). The success frameworks provide insight into the role and value of two Place-Based Initiatives (PBIs) as localised and whānau-centred adaptive approaches to address complex issues.

The report contains the context and design process for the two success frameworks, and case study templates for Manaaki Tairāwhiti and the SASWB. The draft case study templates and the success frameworks were tested and refined through developing prototype case studies. The case study approach adopted trials a pragmatic way of demonstrating the PBIs progress in contributing to social sector system change and sharing learnings to enable broader system improvements.

We detail the intended use of the success frameworks and their review process. The appendices contain information that may be useful for other Place-Based Initiatives (PBIs) and similar approaches, including a theory of change, key literature insights, and tools for assessing collective action and whānau outcomes.

The success frameworks are living documents. They will continue to evolve over time as both Manaaki Tairawhiti and SASWB adapt to meet the needs of their people and place.
