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 ‘four-year plans’.
Allocations for each four-year plan are managed over a three-year period. Over this period, there is flexibility to move funds into and between four-year plans in order to respond to rapidly changing contexts.
This table sets out the approved funding for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 by allocation group and four-year plan. Links are also provided to each of the four-year plans. MFAT will update this page quarterly* with any changes over the course of the three-year period. Reporting on actual IDC expenditure for each financial year by four-year plan is provided in MFAT’s annual report(external link) (Annex Two).
