Empowered by passion, driven to lead: Learn from the stories of our Manaaki Scholars as they step out and shape their futures
Katrina feels incredibly fortunate to have completed the Master of Climate Change Science and Policy (MCCSP) programme in New Zealand, which offered her a comprehensive and transformative learning experience: “The knowledge and skills I gained from the MCCSP program equipped me with the necessary climate change policy analysis competencies.”
Now a proud Manaaki New Zealand alumna, Katrina is confident that her training has strengthened her ability to understand how the multifaceted aspects of the climate crisis affect the Philippines' national security. She continues to bring meaningful change — strengthening the partnership between New Zealand and the Philippines for new horizons of collaboration. Their journeys say it best — stories of purpose, growth, and the spirit of Manaaki in action.
