Public sector and Government – co-design, implement and evaluate

We work closely with government agencies to ensure the right outcomes are delivered for Pasifika communities through various targeted programmes and initiatives. This work includes supporting the co-design and implementation of transformative initiatives that aim to deliver better results for Pasifika. We help our clients to make bold and informed choices about where to play and how best to make a meaningful impact for the Pasifika community. 

We also work with government agencies to monitor and evaluate investments and funding programmes to ensure their funding decisions have delivered the best outcome for all involved, including the communities the funding is intended to benefit.  

Pasifika businesses – tailored business advice focussed on growth

Pasifika businesses are a key part of Aotearoa’s economy, and we’re passionate about supporting them as they thrive and grow. Our team can connect you with experts across Deloitte, whether you’re looking for specialised risk or digital consultants, advice around procurement and tendering or to outsource tax and accounting work. Our team has an awareness of and acknowledges the unique economic development challenges facing Pasifika businesses, which in our opinion, is necessary for impactful engagement with Pasifika businesses.

We also work closely with our partner agency, the Pacific Business Trust, to provide tailored and expert business advice to Pasifika businesses – focussed on growth, building capability and moving Pasifika businesses further up their respective industry supply chains.  

Pasifika organisations and providers – governance and financial advisory services

Working with Pasifika social providers and non-profit organisations is an important part of our work as a team, and something we’re very passionate about. We work with Pasifika social sector organisations to strengthen their governance, systems, processes and controls to enable them to focus on doing what they do best - delivering impactful services to the community.

We also have experience in supporting non-profit organisations to develop evaluation frameworks to define and measure the impact of an organisation’s activities – a critical phase for organisations seeking to improve the effectiveness and impact of their initiatives and services and to provide confidence to funders about their investment spend. 

Our services in the South Pacific

Aotearoa is a Pacific country and we are connected to other South Pacific nations by culture, history, politics, geography and family. Our services extend beyond Aotearoa and we have experience providing services in the Pacific Islands.  This means we understand how to do business in the islands – we understand and appreciate the history, the culture and the importance of relationships and networks. We welcome the opportunity to contribute and make an impact for our neighbours in the South Pacific region.  

Pås Peau is a collective of passionate individuals with a diverse range of skills and expertise. Our united goal is to make a positive impact for Pasifika organisations and the wider Pasifika community, by enabling them with the right skills and tools to deliver exciting, bold new outcomes.

Many of our team are Pasifika, or have extensive experience working with Pasifika communities and businesses. We understand the key cultural values that are at the heart of Pasifika organisations and we are passionate about delivering better outcomes for the Pasifika community.

The team is led by Lisa Tai and Amy Dove – get in touch using the contact details below. 

We have teamed up with the Pacific Business Trust and the Ministry of Social Development to provide business support workshops for Pasifika organisations impacted by COVID-19. If you’re a Pasifika organisation and are looking for support and advice during this difficult time, you can find more information and key contacts here.

We know that there’s more we can do for the Pasifika community beyond providing professional services. That’s why we are proud to support a number of internships and scholarships, which provide young Pacific people with opportunities to thrive and make an impact.
