Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The appropriation decreased by $942,000 to $81.415 million in 2019/20 due to:

  • a fiscally neutral transfer of funding of $1.200 million to Vote Foreign Affairs and Trade for the Pacific Enabling Fund
  • an expense transfer of $149,000 to the 2020/21 financial year to progress Tranche 5 of the Health and Safety assessment and risk mitigation programme.

These decreases are partially offset by:

  • an increase of $218,000 resulting from foreign exchange rate and overseas inflation movements
  • an increase of $189,000 due to an expense transfer from 2018/19 to ensure compliance with new legislative and Cabinet-approved protective security requirements.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The appropriation increased by $48.360 million in 2019/20 due to:

  • an increase of $50.169 million from the new initiatives package approved in Budget 2020 for increasing New Zealand's international assistance to ensure strong governance and inclusive development
  • an increase of $3.378 million being the transfer back to this appropriation of the audited underspend on the support for hosting Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation 2018 in Papua New Guinea.

These increases are partially offset by a transfer of $5.187 million to Vote Foreign Affairs and Trade to enable the establishment and delivery of a Pacific Leader Development Programme.
