Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The appropriation increased by a further $9.450 million to $33.552 million for 2019/20 due to the impact of COVID-19, resulting in an increase in Consular services activity through assisting increasing numbers of New Zealanders overseas; including arranging and managing their repatriation to New Zealand, and staffing a 24/7 Emergency Crisis Centre. The increased expenditure is funded from fiscally neutral transfers from other departmental appropriations in Vote Foreign Affairs and Trade ($8.450 million) and Vote Official Development Assistance ($1 million).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The appropriation decreased by a further $2.450 million to $44.878 million for 2019/20 due to a fiscally neutral transfer of funding to the Consular Services appropriation to meet COVID-19 related expenditure. This funding can be transferred because business as usual activity will not be maintained at pre COVID-19 levels.

- a fiscally neutral transfer of $1.500 million from Vote Transport for the purpose of funding New Zealand's contribution to the air freight arrangement proposed by the Government of Singapore.
