Project Gender have been contracted by the Peter McKenzie Project to look at the opportunities for systemic change to ensure greater equity for low income, single parent households.

The Project consists of an environmental scan, stakeholder hui, an online survey and focus groups, and runs from March - October 2022.

Our Purpose: To identify opportunities for systemic change to improve the lives of low income, single parent households in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

 Our Scope: This exploratory work involves investigating interest amongst relevant sector stakeholders and identifying opportunities for a long-term and collective approach to enhancing equity for single parents in Aotearoa.

This project will deliver robust insights on the current state-of-play for single parents in Aotearoa in terms of their experiences and what they and their tamariki need to thrive. This project will also provide informed and evidence-based recommendations on how to best proceed towards developing a strategic framework for change that is feasible and fit for purpose.
