New Zealand 2016 report

General Information

Executive Summary

Please summarize in max 3500 characters the main achievements and challenges in implementing the Convention and the outlook for the future. Please note this is not an introduction to the report or an annotated table of contents.

Since the filing of New Zealand's last periodic report in 2012, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage has developed the Cultural Sector Strategic Framework which sets out the Ministry's approach to leading and working with the Cultural Sector in New Zealand to achieve our vision of ‘New Zealand's distinctive culture enriches our lives’.

Our vision recognises that our distinctive culture is core to what makes New Zealand a great place to live. Cultural expression, engagement and understanding are fundamental to a vibrant and healthy society and help define what it is to be a New Zealander. Māori culture makes New Zealand unique in a globalised world and is central to our sense of place, identifying us as a nation. Active participation by Māori in distinct te ao Māori activity will ensure Māori culture is protected and flourishes.

Culture is produced by creative and innovative individuals, groups and organisations. The activities, goods and services they create, produce and distribute have a value which is cultural, social and economic. Cultural expression expands individual capacities, helps bind society and provides jobs and innovation in the economy.

Government makes a significant contribution to the broad cultural sector each year in order to ensure that public value is realised and distributed for the benefit of everyone. In 2013/14, the Ministry invested almost $400 million in arts, heritage, media and sport through Vote Arts, Culture and Heritage and Vote Sport and Recreation. Additional support to the cultural sector is provided through other public sources including the education sector and local government. The cultural sector contributes to achieving positive outcomes across a wide range of other government portfolios outside the sector.

One of the key challenges in implementing the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions is that the way New Zealand promotes its culture and heritage does not always fit easily into the framework of the Convention. While New Zealand legislation and policies do not formally refer to the Convention, the principles and aspirations of the Convention are incorporated into New Zealand's legislative framework including the Treaty of Waitangi, the Human Rights Act and the Bill of Rights Act.

The role of protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expression is the responsibility of a number of government departments and agencies, including:

Ministry for Culture and Heritage and our funded agencies
Te Puni Kōkiri - Ministry for Māori Development
Office of Ethnic Communities
Human Rights Commission
Ministry of Pacific Peoples
Office of Treaty Settlements

Therefore the Ministry for Culture and Heritage consulted with and invited contributions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Te Puni Kōkiri - Ministry for Māori Development, Ministry of Pacific Peoples, Ministry for Women, Creative New Zealand and Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand.

Overview of Cultural Policy Context

Parties shall describe the key objectives and priorities of their current cultural policy and the impact the Convention has had in their formulation or reformulation. They will also report on the opportunities and challenges to promote the diversity of cultural expressions in a digital environment.:

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage's Cultural Sector Strategic Framework sets out the Ministry’s approach to leading and working with our sector.

Our work is guided by the following principles:

New Zealand stories and talent: high-quality New Zealand content shines through in a crowded cultural landscape, revealing our distinctiveness and encouraging new voices, new forms of expression and new stories.
Recognition of Māori as Tangata Whenua (New Zealand’s indigenous people): the Treaty of Waitangi frames the Crown-Māori relationship and guides our on-going commitment to supporting iwi-Māori aspirations (iwi is the Māori word for tribe).
Stewardship/Kaitiakitanga: there is a present-day responsibility to ensure cultural assets, experiences and resources are available to future generations.
Reasonable access: all New Zealanders should have reasonable access to publicly funded cultural activities, goods and services.
An open creative economy: a healthy cultural economy balances protection of creative property with fostering diverse markets for production and distribution.
Diversity of perspective: freedom of cultural expression is critical for a well-functioning democracy.
Efficient use of resources: with limited public resources it is important that the value of public investment is well understood and used to inform decisions.

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage recognises the opportunities and challenges of promoting the diversity of cultural expression in a digital environment. This has been incorporated as a theme in the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's work programme and those of our relevant agencies. This theme, ‘Front Footing Transformative Technology,’ is outlined in more detail under the Cultural Policies and Measures section of this report.

❭ CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

Supporting Māori Cultural Aspirations (strategic priority linked to Ministry for Culture and Heritage work programme)

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Key objectives of the measure:

Māori culture and heritage is a defining feature of New Zealand identity in the world. The preservation and expression of Māori language, arts, culture and heritage need to be well supported. Cultural agencies are committed to working in partnership with iwi-Māori to advance their long-term cultural aspirations for the benefit of Māori and all New Zealanders. In the post-settlement (settlement of Treaty of Waitangi claims) environment, iwi are better positioned to advance their own cultural aspirations and will demand a high level of responsiveness from government and its agencies.

By 2018 the Ministry for Culture and Heritage intends the Ministry, iwi-Māori, and cultural sector organisations to have strengthened capacity to advance Māori cultural aspirations for the benefit of Māori and for all New Zealanders.

Through the development of digital skills, online rights policies, trans-media, new mobile applications and other innovative business solutions New Zealand creative talent and organisations are positioning themselves to control and manage their endeavours to reach a wider audience. The Ministry is working to support an environment where skills, infrastructure and property rights support innovation and creation.

By 2018 the Ministry intends New Zealand's creative practitioners and organisations to have mastered skills and capabilities to front-foot technological innovation. There will be greater scope to select and manage production, distribution and access, and New Zealand will be recognised as a leader in enabling ease of access to, and re-use of, creative content.

National

International

c.2. the nature of the measure:

regulatory

c.3. the main feature of the measure:

In 2012, Immigration New Zealand introduced special immigration instructions for international performers and their support crew to enter New Zealand to participate in an approved arts or music festival. To obtain approved status, a festival must intend to engage at least 10 international participants.

Under the special immigration process, performers are eligible to enter New Zealand on a visitor visa instead of a work visa as per normal procedure. This makes for a more streamlined immigration process, and ensures that immigration settings are not a barrier for international performers to travel to New Zealand to perform in such festivals.

In 2014, Immigration New Zealand introduced a special immigration instructions for high-end music acts and their support crew. If they are being promoted in New Zealand by a music promoter on Immigration New Zealand’s Approved Music Promoter list, then these music acts are able to travel to and perform in New Zealand on visitor visas, rather than work visas.

This means that people holding passports which are visa-waived for travel to New Zealand, and who do not have any other reason to need to apply for a visa (such as a previous conviction) will not need to apply at all before they travel, while others who are travelling on visa required passports, will benefit from the lower cost and reduced documentation associated with visitor visa applications.

d. Does it specifically target individuals and/or social groups as defined in Article 7 of the Convention?:

❭ INTEGRATION OF CULTURE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - AT NATIONAL LEVEL

Whānau Ora

Context of the measure:

INTEGRATION OF CULTURE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - AT NATIONAL LEVEL

b. Key objectives of the measure:

Whānau Ora is an inclusive, culturally-anchored approach to provide services and opportunities to whānau (Māori word for extended family) and families across New Zealand. It aims to empower whānau and families as a whole, rather than separately focusing on individual family members and their problems.

c. What is:

c.1. the scope of the measure:

Local

National

c.2. the nature of the measure:

institutional

c.3. the main feature of the measure:

Whānau Ora requires multiple government agencies to work together with whānau and families rather than separately with individual family members.

From late 2012 through to mid-2013 additional efforts were undertaken to expand the whanau-centred approach within Whanau Ora to incorporate a focus on Pacific families, and to develop clearer pathways for engaging Pacific families and communities through Whānau Ora.

Whānau Ora currently delivers whānau-centred outcomes to 8,916 whānau made up of 41,952 whānau members. Pacific family members account for 15% of the total number of individual family members engaging with Whānau Ora.

Phase two sees the devolution of decision-making closer to communities through the establishment of three non-governmental agencies that ‘commission’ (or purchase) outcomes for whānau. The commissioning approach reflects the importance of community-based leadership and decision-making to the continued growth and success of Whānau Ora as a social, economic and cultural development approach for whānau and families.

d. Does it specifically target individuals and/or social groups as defined in Article 7 of the Convention?:

Yes

e. What are the results expected through the implementation of the measure?:

The Whānau Ora approach provides whānau and families with the support and guidance they need to be self-managing; living healthy lifestyles; participating fully in society; confidently participating in Te Ao Māori; economically secure and successfully involved in wealth creation; and cohesive, resilient and nurturing.

i.1 At what level the evaluation was conducted?:

Local

National

i.2 What were the main conclusions?:

The bullets below summarise the results achieved for whānau and families in the first phase of Whānau Ora.

Almost two-thirds of whānau who were engaged with Whānau Ora received support from Navigators and developed whānau plans. Whānau aspirations were wide-ranging and evenly-spread across the six high-level outcomes identified by the Taskforce on Whānau-centred initiatives.
The immediate impacts of collective services were extensive. Some gains were in ‘intermediary outcomes’ (for example, improved service access, motivation) and others were in ‘higher-level’ outcome areas (for example, increased income, improved employment and so on).
On average, whānau experienced more than seven intermediary gains and more than three higher-level gains in wellbeing.
The most common intermediary improvements were accessing services, happiness, relationships and leadership, where over 70 percent experienced advances. The most common higher-level improvements were in safety and education/training, where 76 percent and 61 percent of whānau, respectively, made advances.
A moderately strong correlation was noted between whānau-centred
approaches and intermediary whānau gains, and between intermediary
and higher-level whānau gains; also between less directly connected
outcomes (for example, knowledge of whakapapa (genealogy) and
reduced rates of smoking).

i.3 Which indicators were used to determine impact?:

The indicators used to determine the impact of the first phase of Whānau Ora were the percentage of whānau experiencing significant improvements in:

education/training achieved
healthy eating/exercise
early childhood education participation
income
housing
employment
smoking reduction
knowledge of accessing services
motivation to improve wellbeing
new skills to achieve goals
positive whānau relationships
happiness
treating each other with respect
confidence in parenting
connectedness
confidence in cultural values
knowledge of whakapapa.

To deliver on its mission of supporting sustainable development, the New Zealand Aid Programme has recently formulated and published a Strategic Plan (2015-19), complemented by an Investment Priorities (2015-19) companion document which details twelve areas in which New Zealand will focus its aid, capability and policy engagement to deliver sustainable development and poverty reduction in partner countries.

Partnerships are vital to the New Zealand Aid Programme. Working with other governments and agencies means that development assistance efforts are coordinated within countries and across regions. Partnerships also ensure we work in line with a developing country's own strategies and development priorities.

One cultural development project fully funded by the New Zealand Aid Programme is the Cultural Heritage/Museum Advisor to the Government of Niue's Cultural Heritage Centre Project, undertaken by Te Papa Tongarewa - Museum of New Zealand.

Achievements and Challenges

Describe main results achieved in implementing the Convention:

A number of measures have been introduced which support the principles and aspirations of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. While many of these have yet to be evaluated, the main results achieved include:

Supporting Māori cultural aspirations is a key theme in the Ministry for Culture and Heritage’s work programme and those of relevant agencies of the ministry. This has included targeted initiatives to address gaps and opportunities in the delivery of support for Māori practitioners and managing the conservation of protected objects.

Special immigration processes for international performers and high-end musical acts has improved access to high-end international performance acts in New Zealand and had a positive response from event organisers.

Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand museum exchanges have promoted the exchange of skills and knowledge of museum curators in New Zealand and participating institutions in the Asia Pacific region. In addition, this measure has facilitated exhibition exchanges, supporting the cultural knowledge and understanding of the public in the participating countries.

The protection and promotion of Pacific culture has also been a central theme in the Ministry’s work and that of its agencies. Creative New Zealand has strengthened Pacific arts in New Zealand through its Pacific Cultural exchange programme. Radio New Zealand International has provided quality radio content and radio infrastructure for the Pacific. The New Zealand Aid Programme has supported sustainable economic development in the region.

Challenges encountered or foreseen to implement the Convention :

One of the key challenges in implementing the Convention is that the way New Zealand promotes its culture and heritage does not always fit easily into the framework of the Convention. While New Zealand legislation and policies do not formally refer to the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, the principles and aspirations of the Convention are incorporated into New Zealand's legislative framework, including the Treaty of Waitangi, the Human Rights Act and the Bill of Rights Act.

Solutions found or envisaged to overcome those challenges:

While New Zealand legislation and policies do not usually refer to the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, the New Zealand Government is confident that its core legislative framework supports the principles and aspirations of the Convention.

Steps planned for the next 4 years:

Ministry for Culture and Heritage's Cultural Sector Strategic Framework, which was adopted in 2014 continues to guide the work programme for the Ministry.

Together with the government-funded agencies in the cultural sector, the Ministry has identified five focus areas to improve outcomes for New Zealanders over the next four years.

i.2 What were the main conclusions?:

The bullets below summarise the results achieved for whānau and families in the first phase of Whānau Ora.

Almost two-thirds of whānau who were engaged with Whānau Ora received support from Navigators and developed whānau plans. Whānau aspirations were wide-ranging and evenly-spread across the six high-level outcomes identified by the Taskforce on Whānau-centred initiatives.
The immediate impacts of collective services were extensive. Some gains were in ‘intermediary outcomes’ (for example, improved service access, motivation) and others were in ‘higher-level’ outcome areas (for example, increased income, improved employment and so on).
On average, whānau experienced more than seven intermediary gains and more than three higher-level gains in wellbeing.
The most common intermediary improvements were accessing services, happiness, relationships and leadership, where over 70 percent experienced advances. The most common higher-level improvements were in safety and education/training, where 76 percent and 61 percent of whānau, respectively, made advances.
A moderately strong correlation was noted between whānau-centred
approaches and intermediary whānau gains, and between intermediary
and higher-level whānau gains; also between less directly connected
outcomes (for example, knowledge of whakapapa (genealogy) and
reduced rates of smoking).

i.3 Which indicators were used to determine impact?:

The indicators used to determine the impact of the first phase of Whānau Ora were the percentage of whānau experiencing significant improvements in:

education/training achieved
healthy eating/exercise
early childhood education participation
income
housing

smoking reduction
knowledge of accessing services
motivation to improve wellbeing
new skills to achieve goals
positive whānau relationships
happiness
treating each other with respect
confidence in parenting
connectedness
confidence in cultural values
knowledge of whakapapa.
