Community Research gathers research about New Zealand’s tangata whenua, community and voluntary sector, shares it with a broader audience, creates a hub for researchers, iwi and community organisations to share their ideas, and advocates for good practice methods in community research.

Community Research operates a Treaty-based model of governance and kaitiakitanga to reflect the partnership established by the Treaty of Waitangi.  Governance-Kaitiaki group members have input via two caucuses – the Tangata Whenua caucus and the Tangata Tiriti caucus.
