Research & Reports
Research, evaluation and implementation learning that have contributed to the development of Te Ako Manaaki and its approach to cross-sector collaboration.
Building the evidence base
Learning from research, practice and implementation
Te Ako Manaaki has developed through practical application alongside research into how people, organisations and systems can work more effectively together around complex challenges.
These reports capture different stages of that development — from the early Managed Moves work in education through to research examining collaborative practice and integrated responses.
The evidence base continues to develop as the framework is applied, evaluated and tested across different settings.

An evolving evidence base
Research continues alongside implementation
Te Ako Manaaki is designed as a learning framework. Research and evaluation are used not only to understand whether change occurs, but to identify how collaborative practice works, what enables it and where systems need to adapt.
Practice
Learning from practitioners, participants and communities about how collaboration operates in real settings.
Outcomes
Understanding what changes for people and whānau and whether improvements can be sustained over time.
Systems
Examining how relationships, pathways, decision-making and organisational conditions enable or constrain collective action.
