Why have an outcomes framework / Hei aha te pou tarāwaho?

Lottery decision makers consider how lottery grants can make a positive difference for communities, hapū and iwi.

The lottery grants system focuses on the outcomes, rather than the outputs, created through grants. Outputs describe what the grant funds will be spent on. Outcomes describe what happens for communities, hapū, and iwi as a result.

For example, a grant might fund an ‘output’ like maintenance costs for a community facility, while the ‘outcome’ created might be stronger community connections.

Grant seekers can look at the outcomes framework to find out what types of outcomes the lottery grants system will prioritise. They may consider the outcomes their group hopes to achieve, and how they align with the lottery outcomes.

The Lottery Outcomes Framework /  Te Pou Tarāwaho Hua Rota

The Lottery Grants Board Te Puna Tahua (the Board) sets out its high-level vision and desired outcomes in its Statement of Intent (SOI). The Board’s vision guides the priorities of the lottery grants system, in combination with the Gambling Act 2003 (the Act), the principle of equity, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The outcomes framework is built on these foundational elements.

The Lottery Outcomes Framework has three levels:

• The Far Horizon Outcomes - Ngā Pae Tawhiti 
  
• The Mid Horizon Outcomes - Ngā Pae Tata 
  

The use of the term ‘horizons’ was inspired by a well-known whakatauākī from Rangi Metekingi of Whanganui: ‘Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina; seek out the distant horizons, while cherishing those achievements at hand’.

The outcomes circle diagram shows Far Horizon Outcomes Ngā Pae Tawhiti and Mid Horizon Outcomes Ngā Pae Tata. The circle shape indicates that all the outcome areas are equally important and that they are interconnected. The outer layers of the circle show the foundational elements of the outcomes framework: the Board's vision, Equity Principle, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and the legislative requirements.
