1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Non-departmental output expenses increase from $1.646 million in 2015/16 to $2.459 million in 2016/17 due to additional funding being received for the Pacific Employment Support Service programme that will assist Pacific youth not in employment, education or training. This increased level of overall funding was partially offset by a reduction in funding due to the completion of a one-year programme aimed at supporting Pasifika organisations to become involved in the provision of community housing. Additional funding was received in 2015/16 for this community housing work.
Non-departmental benefits or related expenses increases from $208,000 in 2015/16 to $358,000 in 2016/17 due to the continuation and expansion of the Toloa scholarship programme aimed at improving the participation of Pacific students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) subjects.
Departmental capital expenditure is forecast to reduce from $650,000 in 2015/16 to $100,000 in 2016/17. This reflects the completion of an investment programme that was required to implement the Ministry's new operating model. During 2015/16 the Ministry implemented a new document management system, upgraded its information technology hardware and completed a number of property moves.
Departmental multi-category output expenses increase from $6.763 million in 2015/16 to $7.004 million in 2016/17 due to additional funding being received for three new initiatives. These are the Pacific Employment Support Service programme that will assist Pacific youth not in employment, education or training; Project Tatupu that will investigate regional housing and employment opportunities for Pacific peoples; and an investigation in to the viability of a Pacific cultural centre in Auckland. The Ministry will also receive additional funding from 2016/17 onwards to supports the continuation and expansion of the Toloa Scholarships programme. This increased level of overall funding was partially offset by a reduction in funding due to the completion of the implementation of the Ministry's new operating model. Additional funding was received between 2014/15 and 2015/16 to complete the implementation of this new model.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The increase in this appropriation for 2016/17 is due to due to additional funding being received for three new initiatives. These are the Pacific Employment Support Service programme that will assist Pacific youth not in employment, education or training; Project Tatupu that will investigate regional housing and employment opportunities for Pacific peoples; and an investigation in to the viability of a Pacific cultural centre in Auckland. The Ministry will also receive additional funding from 2016/17 onwards to supports the continuation and expansion of the Toloa Scholarships programme. This increased level of overall funding was partially offset by a reduction due to the Ministry completing the implementation of its new operating model. Additional funding was received between 2014/15 and 2015/16 to complete the implementation of this new model.
