New Zealand's Agenda for Children
www.msd.govt.nz/
The Agenda for Children is part of the New Zealand Government's broader "Action for Child and Youth Development" work
programme, which combines the implementation of the Agenda for Children with the Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa.
This government programme is conducted by the Ministry of Social Development in close collaboration with the Ministry of
Youth Affairs. The Agenda for Children is aimed at making New Zealand a great place for children. It has a vision, a set
of principles to guide decision-making, new ways of developing child policies and services, and a programme of action for
the Government. These were developed by talking to New Zealanders: children, young people and government specialists. The
Agenda raises children's status in society and promotes a "whole child" approach to developing government policy and
services affecting children. The Agenda for Children focuses on children aged between 0-17 years inclusively.
The
Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa is available from the Ministry of Youth
Affairs website.
For more information about The Agenda for Children visit the Ministry
of Social Development website.
