Under-20-year-olds comprise nearly 30% of the total population, yet their interests are seldom considered by decision-makers. Using a Child Impact Assessment approach involves assessing a proposed policy, decision or activity to determine its likely impact on children.

| The Institute of Public Policy recently evaluated the Ethnic Women’s Network Project in NZ. The women involved in the networks have been significantly strengthened and have appreciated the opportunity to learn about other cultures living in their new country. Involvement in the network has also connected the women with New Zealand’s government and community-based institutions. The women’s insightful contributions into strategic public policy debates have been noted by various agencies as being of high value in progressing their understanding of issues. The ethnic women members have also generously assisted many agencies including New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and other central government departments, local councils, and various community organisations to successfully navigate into ethnic communities, and this has been of huge benefit for those agencies and their associated work outputs.
