    Growing Up in New Zealand is New Zealand's contemporary longitudinal study tracking the development of approximately 7,000 New Zealand children from before birth until they are young adults. The study is designed to provide unique information about what shapes children’s early development and how interventions might be targeted at the earliest opportunity to give every New Zealand child the best start in life. My role to is to ensure we are spending the funds within the intended parameters of the contract terms with the funder, as well advising on best practice processes for sound decision-making for the benefit of the Project. This involves relationship building dynamics with the Activity Managers within the Project, as well as the supporting personnel from Auckland Uniservices Ltd which provide Business Development, Contract Administration, Project Management and IT assistance.Operationally everything is geared towards Data Collection from the 6,500 participants on various matters relating child rearing, education, health, social infrastructure support.
