Mana Tamariki Mokopuna Mana Whānau (MTMMW) is an intervention that represents a new model of service delivery. It focuses on addressing the needs of vulnerable young Māori women, their pēpi, tamariki and whānau who reside on the West Coast of the South Island. In 2014, Poutini Waiora engaged Whakauae to develop and implement a process and outcomes evaluation of the intervention.
During 2015 the evaluator worked alongside the provider as the intervention developed and unfolded. Evaluation activities included finalising an evaluation plan including a project logic model. The evaluator also provided feedback on project activities such as action plans and data collection tools. During this phase a focus group interview of kaimahi was completed and initial data analysis completed. The evaluation has contributed to building community capacity, which in turn, has strengthened understanding of the project and subsequent implementation.
