Our previous research on public accountability highlighted that it is important for us to understand more about Māori perspectives on accountability. This may help us understand why Māori have lower levels of trust in the public sector than other groups.

We commissioned Haemata Limited to carry out some research looking into Māori perspectives on effective public accountability. We’ve published Haemata’s report on our website.

The report highlights issues that we consider are of importance to all public organisations. It contains suggestions about what the public sector can do to help to build a public sector that’s accountable to, and trusted by, Māori.

The findings also have implications for how our Office carries out its role and the impact we can have on public sector accountability matters of significance to Māori.
