The Government sets the overall budget for the New Zealand International Development Cooperation Programme on a three-yearly basis, known as a triennium.
New Zealand’s International Development Cooperation Programme 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 changes in context.
This table sets out the approved funding for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 by Group allocation.
Reporting on actual IDC expenditure for each financial year is provided in MFAT’s annual report (Annex Two).
