Description
Summary:Robertson explains the importance of sport and recreation to achieving wellbeing for all in Aotearoa, New Zealand. He illustrates the strategic approach taken by Sport New Zealand Ihi Aotearoa (Sport NZ) to deliver on the Government of New Zealand's intended wellbeing outcomes, including the provision of equitable access to sport and physical activity. The introduction of the "Wellbeing Budget" in Aotearoa, in 2019, and the tools developed to measure wellbeing outcomes at a population level were an important shift in government policy. They provide context for changes to the ways in which sport and physical activity are delivered, and the outcomes they as a country seek to achieve. Aotearoa New Zealand's government departments are therefore encouraged to collaborate and work together where possible around the promotion of wellbeing.
