Nineteen organisations will receive funding to lead a range of capability projects across Aotearoa, while twenty organisations will receive seed funding to support the development of a proposal for round two. This includes funding for engagement and research to better understand capability needs. A list of recipients is available on Manatū Taonga’s website.
