We are an independent, non-partisan public policy think tank based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland
Our Values
We stand for inclusion, fairness, and sustainability.
The Helen Clark Foundation promotes the values demonstrated by Helen Clark across her lengthy public career: inclusion, fairness, and sustainability. We believe that these values are an essential bedrock for a well-functioning democracy, and for effective public policy.
Aotearoa New Zealand is our home, and we approach our work with a view to both learning from international best practice as well as contributing a distinctly local voice to policy research.
OUR PATRON
The Right Honourable Helen Clark
Helen Clark was Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1999-2008. During her nine years as Prime Minister, New Zealand enjoyed strong economic growth, low unemployment, and significant investment in public services. Her government set clear objectives for sustainable development and climate action.
Helen Clark became the Administrator of the United Nations Development Program in April 2009 and the Chair of the United Nations Development Group, a committee consisting of the heads of all UN funds, programmes and departments working on development issues. She was the first woman to assume these positions, which she held for a full two terms and eight years before standing down in April 2017.
