This review is currently informing our internal policy development and our work in:

  • reviewing the contracting and evaluation of our funded youth programmes
  • informing key discussion with providers e.g. 'range and reach'
  • adding to the body of evidence on youth development policy and practice in New Zealand.

We recommended providers of youth development structured programmes, especially those engaged in programme planning, policy and practice read this report.
