Strategic Intentions 2024-2028
The Strategic Intentions publication sets out for Parliament and the New Zealand public the Ministry’s contribution to New Zealand’s security, prosperity, and sustainability. It also outlines medium-term priorities and focus areas that we are seeking to deliver over the next four years.
The Strategic Intentions is a core accountability document that we will report against in our Annual Report.
