Active from 1983 to 2023, the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies aimed to lift environmental, social, and economic outcomes for all New Zealanders, via good public policy.
The Institute’s goal was to contribute to improving New Zealanders’ lives. Its researchers engaged with New Zealand’s policy-making process and worked with people to make New Zealand a better place environmentally, socially, and economically.
