What we did

We supported Sport New Zealand to develop its outcomes framework drawing on the Treasury’s Living Standards Framework. This work involved providing expert advice on the application of the Living Standards Framework, supporting the development of intervention logics and the Outcomes Framework and generating tools to support communication of the Framework.

How we did it

This work included using existing evidence to map outcomes from play, active recreation, and sport with the different elements of the domains of current wellbeing and the four capitals.   The   process   involved   developing   intervention   logics   to   identify   where   the   most significant contribution to domains of wellbeing existed.

We worked closely with the Sport New Zealand business intelligence team to test assumptions, critically appraise the proposed Outcomes Framework, and to develop a performance measurement framework.
