Mission
Develop, sustain, and enhance the sovereign and ethnic identity of the people of Niue through their own distinctive language, customs and traditions, art and crafts, and history.

Taoga Niue is the main Government concept to support and promote the use and preservation of the Niuean culture, language and tradition. Taoga Niue is the sixth pillar of the Niue Integrated Strategic Plan (NISP). The importance of culture to Niue and its future, hence the adding of Taoga Niue as a sixth pillar of the NISP. Taoga Niue is now a Government Department with their main office at Paliati, Niue High School.

VISION
"Niue ke Monuina – A Prosperous Niue"
The objective is to build a sustainable future that meets our economic and social needs while preserving environmental integrity, social stability, and the Niue culture.

VISION STATEMENT
Niue’s journey towards prosperity commenced in 2003, under the National Integrated Strategic Plan 2003 – 2008. The achievements for this period were mixed. A category 5 cyclone 2 that caused widespread damage 6 months after the Plan started, diverted financial and other resources to recovery and rebuilding post-cyclone. The strategic objectives have been adapted and strengthened for the 2009-2013 period.

The achievement of Niue ke Monuina is supported by six national development goals or Pillars and specific strategies under each of those Pillars. Progress of the journey to prosperity is measured by targets and indicators corresponding to each of the Pillars.

A number of strategies have been identified to achieve the Pillars. Careful and strategic allocation of resources will be prioritised so that the strategic initiatives, activities and targets can be achieved by 2013.

The 2009 – 2013 Plan is a five-year strategic framework towards achieving ‘Niue ke Monuina’. It provides the directions that we as a nation shall follow to enable us to achieve prosperity for everyone.

LIVING THE VISION
Niue will continue to be a sovereign nation in free association with New Zealand. Its unique culture, based on spiritualism, language, heritage and social values, will thrive and be celebrated. Her people will continue to enjoy a high standard of living with a unique island lifestyle and a stable and responsible government. Niue will continue to be recognised internationally for its unspoilt and unique environment,  particularly its pristine coastal waters. It will continue to protect that environment through  sustainable environmental practices.

While government will continue to be the major employer, there will also be a vibrant private sector offering employment and investment opportunities to both locals and those wishing to make Niue their home.

The tourism industry will continue to flourish based on the attractions that the unique environment has to offer. The industry will be serviced by regular airline services to New Zealand and other Pacific Island Countries. Vanilla and noni production and a thriving fishing industry are major contributors to the economy.

The revenue base for the government will have expanded so that there are sufficient funds available to finance necessary infrastructure maintenance and replacement, provide seed capital to encourage private industry and investment as well as continue to provide essential government services. Government will continue to be debt free.

As a result of these initiatives Niue’s population will be stable and possibly show a net increase. Government will continue to enjoy cordial international relations particularly with New Zealand, Australia her Pacific neighbours and valued investment partners. It will also continue to enjoy and participate in regional and international fora. The journey towards prosperity will continue to build the foundation for the future of Niue.
