In 2017/18, there was also a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products.
The increase in 2018/19 was mainly due to a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products and the progression of ICT initiatives. The increase also reflects a higher level of funding for the implementation and ongoing operation of Phase II of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism reforms. Funding was also provided for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters, the Government Inquiry into the Auckland Fuel Supply Disruption and the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Terrorist Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019. The increase also reflects funding for an increase in the capacity and capability for the Office of Ethnic Communities, for the reform of the New Zealand racing industry and the National Remembrance Service in Christchurch and other services.
The increase in 2019/20 was mainly due to a higher level of funding for RealMe, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Terrorist Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 and increased capacity and capability for the Office of Ethnic Communities. It also reflects funding for countering online violent extremist content and supporting the Christchurch call, the visit by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities and for the continuation of the project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand. The increase was partially offset by the transfer of the Language Line service to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in 2019/20, a lower level of funding for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters and reflects the completion of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction in 2018/19.
The increase in 2020/21 is mainly due to funding to support librarians and library services to be retained in New Zealand and to support community recovery, for a multi-faceted programme of work to respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on the organisations that rely upon gambling proceeds, for SmartStart, Taumata Arowai and Tahuhu: Preserving the Nation's Memory programme. The increase also reflects a higher level of funding to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities associated with the provision of services by Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand, for the costs associated with managing the transition for the incoming Executive, to deliver digital skills programmes and to address digital skills gaps, the Digital Government Partnership Innovation Fund and RealMe.
The decrease in 2021/22 is mainly due to the completion of the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters and the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Terrorist Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019. The decrease also reflects a lower level of funding associated with project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand, the progression of ICT initiatives and a lower level of expenditure for Identity products. The decrease was partially offset by a higher level of funding for Taumata Arowai.
The decrease in baseline in 2022/23 mainly reflects a lower level of funding to support librarians and library services to be retained in New Zealand and to support community recovery, for RealMe and for the progression of ICT initiatives.
The increase in baseline in 2024/25 is mainly due to a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure - Other Expenses

In 2017/18, there was an expense transfer from 2017/18 to 2019/20 and 2020/21 to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the Community-led Development Programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships.
From 2017/18, the increase in baseline also reflects additional funding to enable community and voluntary organisations to provide more meaningful support to communities to achieve longer-term investments to meet local needs.
From 2017/18 to 2020/21, funding was provided for a social enterprise market development programme.
In 2018/19, funding was provided to support community-led responses and initiatives following the Christchurch Mosques Terror Attack.
In 2019/20, there was an expense transfer to 2021/22 to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the Community-led Development Programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The funding for the Community Development and Engagement Advice category was previously a category within the Community Information and Advisory Services Multi-Category Appropriation (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The decrease in this appropriation in 2021/22 compared with all applicable appropriations under the previous structure is mainly due to funding in 2020/21 for at-risk communities to upgrade their security arrangements and the administration costs associated with the COVID-19 Foreign National Support Fund. The decrease also reflects a higher level of funding in 2020/21 for the Community-led Development Programme.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The decrease in this appropriation in 2021/22 compared with all applicable appropriations under the previous structure is mainly due to a higher level of funding in 2020/21 for a multi-faceted programme of work to respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on the organisations that rely upon gambling proceeds. The decrease also reflects funding in 2020/21 only for engaging specialist expertise to support the implementation and monitoring of the support package for the racing industry.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation is being established with effect from 1 July 2021 to consolidate funding associated with the Ministry for Ethnic Communities (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The increase in this appropriation in 2021/22 compared with all applicable appropriations under the previous structure is due to funding for upgrading the Office of Ethnic Communities to the Ministry for Ethnic Communities, developing system leadership capability and a higher level of funding for the Ethnic Communities' Graduate Programme (developed and implemented in 2020/21).
