Organiser of He Waka Eke Noa Better Together 2021
The aim of the Better Start Challenge is to improve the potential for young New Zealanders to have healthy and successful lives. We are more than 150 researchers delivering excellent science to give our tamariki a better start in life. While we come from many different disciplines and organisations, we are united in our commitment. Our researchers share a collaborative approach and through the He Awa Whiria (braided rivers) model weave together knowledge from differing sources that flow together to progress the wellbeing of tamariki.
