Table 1 below provides the estimated proportion of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to be spent by other government departments and cross-government funds. Funding is dispersed across a wide range of departments and cross-government funds. Expected proportions are based on ODA budget allocations in order to meet the government’s commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) on ODA in each calendar year.
