We are proud to support the OHI Data Navigator Tool. This tool organises data so that organisations like WFCT can understand the experiences of Aotearoa’s young people. This is useful for decision-making, developing youth programmes and research. There is growing possibility for the use of the tool. “It is a tool that’s helping to shift the power and impact data can have for the community, to the community.” Read more from the OHI Team here on their website.

The third annual Taiohi Insights Report 2023 (released Dec 2023) draws from OHI Data Navigator data over 2018-2022 and looks at system level shifts and specific experiences of rangatahi.

Findings include:

• a gradual increase in the number of rangatahi experiencing disadvantage in Aotearoa New Zealand, reaching 20.6% in 2022 compared to 20.3% in 2021 and 19.3% in 2018.

• one in five rangatahi continue to experience disadvantage and exclusion in Aotearoa,

• education qualification attainment data for rangatahi Māori in South Invercargill, for example, show increases in the proportion of 16 to 25-year-olds attaining at least NCEA 1, 2 and 3 in the three years between 2018 and 2022.
