Inspiring Communities promotes community-led development (CLD) in Aotearoa.

We help make things easier for communities to work in locally-led ways – together. We believe that communities know best about what works for them and what they need to create and implement change to improve their own hauora (wellbeing).

We share local wisdom and practice-based evidence to inform public policy and systems change.

We focus our mahi around our four hekenga (pathways); capability building, evolving knowledge, influencing change, and ensuring sustainability.

Connection and collaboration is foundational to everything we do.

Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi: With your basket and my basket, we will sustain the people.
