50710 (2025). Hon Marama Davidson to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What, if anything, is the outcome of the baseline evaluation scoping for Te Huringa ō Te Ao?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development that procurement is currently underway for the baseline evaluation of Te Huringa ō Te Ao, and it is expected a successful supplier will be selected and onboarded in November 2025. The evaluation will help to understand effectiveness and outcomes of Te Huringa ō Te Ao and other related MSD-funded services and how they work together to meet family, whānau and community needs. The final scope of the evaluation will be determined in conjunction with the successful supplier.
