Waitakere Ethnic Board

Waitakere Ethnic Board Bringing Cultures Together. Tui, tui, tui-tuia nga herenga tangata The Waitakere Ethnic Board (WEB) is an Incorporated Society. Why do we need the WEB?

To provide a "voice" for ethnic communities to influence what the Council and the Government do
To identify the needs of the ethnic communities in West Auckland. To enable groups to share common interests and ideas while maintaining their own identity
To ensure that ethnic communities meet their own needs by capacity building through WEB driven initiatives

What does the WEB do? Represents the vi

ews of migrants and refugees to Local, Central Government and Organizations that look after their affairs including settlement, education, employment, health & safety, economic, social and cultural issues
Advocate on behalf of ethnic communities about issues that concern them and their well-being
Ensure that at a policy level and through advocacy that services are responsive to the needs of migrants and refugees

What values does the WEB seek to uphold? Representation: as many ethnic groups as possible in West Auckland sitting around the table
Inclusive: of all ethnic groups and individuals working together
Relationships: an independent organization that develops relationships with Auckland Council, Central Government agencies and non governmental organizations (NGOs) on behalf of ethnic communities

Capacity building of ethnic leadership and ethnic community development
The WEB will provide opportunities to the ethnic community for collaboration with service providers
The WEB's goal is to have integrated not segregated communities
The WEB is about ethnic communities working together not against each other
