Funding

Learn about our funding and how it supports young people to achieve better outcomes

The Ministry of Youth Development (MYD) – Te Manatū Whakahiato Taiohi – spends around $12.062 million (excluding the Ākonga Youth Development Community Fund) per year on a wide range of youth development and youth enterprise initiatives. We fund organisations that employ a positive youth development approach which supports young people (aged 12 to 24 years) in Aotearoa New Zealand to achieve better outcomes.

Social Services Accreditation

Providers contracted by MYD must have the capability and capacity to deliver quality social services on an on-going basis.

Social Services Accreditation external assesses organisations, often under legislation, against a set of standards at a level that reflects the type of services they deliver. This means that both the Government and the provider’s clients can be confident in the services that are delivered.

New Zealand Government Procurement

MYD adheres to the 'Government Rules of Sourcing' when purchasing outcomes/contracting with providers. Please visit the New Zealand Government Procurement website external for more information.
