Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $358,000 to $7.650 million for 2017/18 due to:

  • $200,000 in 2017/18 of funding from the former Prime Minister's Emerging Priority Contingency for business and strategic advice to help ensure the long-term viability of the Polyfest festival
  • $123,000 in 2017/18 of revenue received from the home agencies of seconded staff of $123,000, and
  • $35,000 in 2017/18 of sponsorship revenue from sponsors of the Prime Minister's Pacific Youth Awards of $35,000.

All of this $358,000 was applied to the Communications, Projects and Relationships Category of the MCA.

The Communications, Projects and Relationships Category of the MCA increased by a further $320,000 (to $678,000) in 2017/18 after transferring $320,000 from the Policy Advice Category of the same MCA in 2017/18. This transfer of $320,000 was made because the Budget Initiative of $750,000 (to enable the Ministry for Pacific Peoples to take the first steps to address capability and capacity gaps identified in its 2016 Performance Improvement Framework Review) was all originally allocated to the Policy Category of the MCA. This transfer is in recognition that of that funding, $320,000 was applied within the Communications, Projects and Relationships category.
