NZMATES Annual report 1 Apr 2018 - March 2019

This annual report corresponds to the first year of the NZMATES programme, from the programme start date (17th of April 2018) to 31st March 2019. As this was the first period of programme activities, there was  a  focus  on  set-up  and  establishment  of  the  Programme  Management  Office  (PMO),  including recruitment, procurement and policy development, as well as stakeholder engagement, especially with key  programme  partners.  Significant  progress  is  also  reported  on  Programme  Framework  reports.Pipeline  activities  are  still  in  the  early  stages,  however  the  workplan  developed  for  the  coming  year includes an exciting mix of projects and locations. This report outlines progress towards programme outputs, and comments on early progress towards short-term outcomes as well.
