29033 (2025). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology: What funding, if any, has been discontinued or reduced for Māori / iwi-led research initiatives in the past 12 months?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that the Te Pūnaha Hihiko Vision Mātauranga Capability Fund and the He aka ka toro navigation fund were recently restructured to form the new He Ara Whakahihiko Capability Fund at the same level of funding. Additionally, I am advised that MBIE has decided not to proceed with three applications under the He Tipu Ka Hua Programme Fund.
