What is ISO?
Investing in Services for Outcomes is an
MSD programme designed to achieve
better outcomes for children, families,
whānau and communities through
better investment decisions and
engagement with NGOs.
Where does it fit with government priorities?

vulnerable people by improving access to, and the quality of,
services that we purchase.

achievement of specific outcomes for vulnerable people.
