Adult and Community Education (ACE) Aotearoa Incorporated (ACE Aotearoa) is the lead body for the ACE sector. It is a professional development body of networks of adult and community educators. 

ACE Aotearoa supports the sector to deliver centrally coordinated, structured learning. This in turn helps to strengthen and support effective ACE delivery and improve ACE learner outcomes, particularly for priority learner groups identified in the Tertiary Education Strategy.

The purpose of the ACE Aotearoa Sector Capability Building Funding is to enable ACE Aotearoa to perform three roles and achieve the following outcomes:
