1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Capital Expenditure
The Ministry is not a capital intensive agency. Capital expenditure is primarily for the routine replacement and upgrade of the Ministry's information technology and office equipment.
The increased level of capital expenditure in 2014/15 relates to fit-out construction work on its new office space.
Departmental Output Expenses
The Ministry's output expenses from 2014/15 to 2016/17 remained relatively stable averaging $4.700 million per year. In 2017/18 the output expenses increased by approximately $500,000 due to additional funding received to maintain the Ministry's policy capability in order to deliver on Government priorities for New Zealand women.
In 2018/19 the output expenses increased by approximately $500,000 compared to the previous period of 2017/18. This increase was the result of the one-off funding of $300,000 to support the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage commemoration for New Zealand in 2018. The remaining $200,000 relates to the additional departmental contributions received as a result of staff secondments to other agencies.
The increase in output expenses of $1.121 million in 2019/20 is mainly due to the Ministry receiving funding of $1.698 million for a new policy initiative to support the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry, with the objectives of transforming policy and services to deliver for wahine Maori. This increase is partially offset by the one-off funding adjustments in 2018/19 that resulted from funding for commemorating the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage and staff secondments to other agencies.
In 2020/21 the output expenses net increase of $80,000 is explained by an increase of $500,000 related to a new budget initiative to enable the Ministry to continue to deliver on Government priorities for New Zealand Women. This increase was partially offset by lower funding received in 2019/20 for the new initiative to support the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry ($160,000) and departmental revenue received from staff seconded to other agencies ($260,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The increase in this appropriation is due to new initiative funding of $500,000 in 2020/21 to enable the Ministry to deliver on Government priorities for New Zealand Women. This increase is largely offset by a slightly lower level of funding for the new initiative to support the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry received in 2020/21 compared to 2019/20 ($160,000) and $260,000 of department revenue received from staff secondments to other agencies in 2019/20.
