Connecting Communities (Collective Action with Communities)
A ‘one size fits all’ approach to health and wellbeing services does not serve our diverse, vibrant and geographically spread population across Aotearoa.
Place-based planning is considered as a community of interest used for the purposes of focusing primary and community-based care, with trusted partnerships at the centre to decide how working together can address challenges of access and choice of health services across a community.
This planning, supported through a Te Tiriti-informed approach to co-design and collectivism, is intended to drive a focus on equity and addressing priority populations need for that community.
Connecting Communities creates an opportunity to foster collaboration on connected models of care and services to ensure people have greater choice over the services they receive. It also provides a platform for hauora (health and wellbeing) networks to be in the driving seat of design and implementation of local, regional and national initiatives.
It is vital that Lived Experience Advisors (LEAs) within a community are part of the network and are provided with a platform to be heard. Networks and place-based planning are supported by a Collective Impact approach that creates opportunities for all partners to understand what matters to whānau.
A brief introduction to the framework can be found here.

Co-Design using Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design
Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design (KKPID) is a flexible, values-based co-design framework which ensures that people and their whānau are at the centre of designing equitable health services in a genuine and purposeful partnership.
The framework places an emphasis on purposefully engaging identified partners in the planning, development, and review of hauora (health and wellbeing) services.
We acknowledge Canterbury Clinical Network in the creation of this framework (2021), who gifted this to Collaborative Aotearoa in April 2024.
An introduction to Kia Kotahi in Partnership and Design (KKPID)
In 2024, at one of our regular peer group events held for partners across our network, we focused on socialising Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design (KKPID). Having recently been gifted to Collaborative Aotearoa from Canterbury Clinical Network (CCN), this recorded session introduced the framework, steps and values embedded to engage patients, whānau and hapori/community in Te Tiriti o Waitangi-informed co-design.
KKPID is a flexible, six-step, values-based framework that engages people in a genuine, purposeful partnership. You can view the recording here.
