FPA Commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi - Te Tiriti o Waitangi
FPA has a strong commitment to ensuring that the work of the organisation meets our obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi.
As a health provider receiving partial funding from the Ministry of Health, we are therefore contractually bound to a number of requirements that reflect the Crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi.
This means we are both ethically and legally bound to ensure that the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi are reflected in the work and the running of FPA.
Goal Two of FPA's Strategic Plan explicitly spells out our commitment.
"To meet FPA's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi and pro-actively contribute to the improvement of Maori sexual and reproductive health."
A Maori responsiveness plan and the annual operational plans include a range of strategies directly relating to advancing Maori sexual and reproductive health. FPA reports annually on these strategies to our National Council (which includes Maori representatives), and also to our funders.
