Summary
The Strategic Intentions 2024–2028 is how the Ministry informs Parliament and the public about:
- the strategic objectives that the Ministry intends to achieve or contribute to over the medium term
- what the Ministry intends to achieve with appropriations
- the nature and scope of the Ministry’s functions and operations to achieve or contribute to the strategic objectives.
There are three main sections.
- Section one – introduction, including our purpose, functions and responsibilities, and our context
- Section two – our strategic direction, which includes our strategic priorities and priority activities
- Section three – how we operate as an organisation to achieve our strategic intentions.
The document sets out the Ministry’s own strategic focus, functions and priorities aligned and contributing to, but distinct from those of the Government.
The Ministry is responsible for reporting annually on progress against the Strategic Intentions 2024–2028 and what has been achieved with appropriations. Parliament sees information on performance reporting in the Ministry’s annual reports and information supporting the Estimates.
The Ministry’s Strategic Intentions 2024–2028 also includes the strategic intentions of Te Aho o Te Kahu – Cancer Control Agency. The agency is a departmental agency hosted by the Ministry and is operating within the Ministry’s strategic and policy framework.
