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 2018/19 relates to replacement of IT infrastructure.

Departmental Output Expenses

The output expenses in 2017/18 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 a further $500,000 compared to 2017/18. This increase was mainly due to one-off funding of $300,000 received in 2018/19 to support the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage commemoration for New Zealand and $200,000 departmental revenue received for cost related to staff secondments to other agencies.

The increase in output expenses for 2019/20 by approximately $670,000 mainly relates to initial cost of implementing the new policy initiative to support the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry programme.

The increase in output expenses of approximately $3.800 million in 2020/21 compared to 2019/20 is due to:

  • additional funding of $1.750 million received in 2020/21 to support Women's Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to deliver services for women affected by the COVID-19 pandemic
  • capability funding of $500,000 received to support the Ministry to deliver on the Government priorities for New Zealand Women
  • $970,000 of expense transfer from a 2019/20 surplus to support the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry and related work programme
  • the balance of approximately $600,000 relates to the cumulative impact of past years budget initiatives.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreased by $390,000 to $9.719 million for 2021/22 due to:

  • $1.750 million one-off funding in 2020/21 to support Women's Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to deliver services for women affected by the COVID-19 pandemic
  • $970,000 funding in 2020/21 received as expense transfer from 2019/20
  • $70,000 reduction in funding for implementation of the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry programme in 2021/22 compared to 2020/21 funding profile.

This decrease is partially offset by:

  • $1.250 million for the Budget 2021 initiative for supporting the Mana Wahine Kaupapa Inquiry claimant engagement
  • $500,000 for the Budget 2021 initiative to strengthen the Ministry's infrastructure
  • $400,000 for the Budget 2021 initiative to support the Gender Pay Taskforce
  • $250,000 additional funding in 2021/22 to manage departmental cost pressures.
