The Ministry for Pacific Peoples , in Māori Te Manatū mō Ngā Iwo o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa , is a ministry and Public Service Department in New Zealand that is responsible for the needs of the people of New Zealand, which are of ancestry from the islands of the Pacific Ocean .

history

With the increase in the population of people who came from the Pacific region, in 1984 the Labor government at the time named Richard Prebble for the first time, a Minister ( Minister of Pacific Island Affairs ) to look after the interests of these people. But he was initially denied a separate ministry for the area. To support his work, the Pacific Island Affairs Unit was set up for him in the Department of Internal Affairs in 1985 . This unit (department) had the task of ensuring that the concerns of the Pacific People , as they are called in New Zealand, were taken into account in all authorities in the country and in legislation. Before 1984, the Department of Māori Affairs was responsible for the socio-economic development of the population group.

With the State Sector Order 1990 , which became legally binding on April 30, 1990, the Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs was founded that same year and the tasks were transferred to the Pacific Island Affairs Unit . In 2015, under the government of the New Zealand National Party, the ministry was renamed Ministry for Pacific Peoples .
