New Zealand’s International Development Cooperation is funded by an appropriation within Vote Foreign Affairs. MFAT organises the funding into six allocation groups, and within this into a set of Plans for our bilateral, regional, multilateral and humanitarian delivery.
Allocations for each Plan are managed over a three-year period. Over this period, there is flexibility to move funds into and between Plans in order to respond to rapidly changing contexts.
This table sets out the approved funding for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 by sub-allocation.
MFAT will update this page with more detail on allocations by country and regional Plan within the Pacific and Global sub-allocations, and links to a new set of Plans in the coming months.
Reporting on actual IDC expenditure for each financial year is provided in MFAT’s annual report (Annex Two).
