Notes

Figures in tables and generally in the text have been rounded. Totals and percentages are calculated on un‑rounded totals. Any discrepancies between totals and sums of components in tables and generally in the text are due to rounding.

In this Statement, 'real' means adjusted for the effect of inflation. Real changes are calculated using the non‑farm Gross Domestic Product deflator.

All amounts are in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise indicated. All estimates are exclusive of recoverable Goods and Services Tax (GST).

One billion is equal to one thousand million.

For the purposes of this table, 'Micronesia' includes the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Diagrams 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

AusAID budget allocations are made to country, regional and global programs, rather than to specific sectors. The projections of expenditure in each sector for 2008‑09 shown in Diagram 2 are generated using an analysis of the nature of actual and planned expenditure in the current (2007‑08) year combined with the expected sectoral allocation of new resources through this 2008‑09 Budget. Further, while AusAID tracks ODA expenditure according to sector and sub-sector classifications endorsed by the OECD DAC, information on projected sectoral allocations in this document is presented in line with the strategic direction and priorities of the development assistance program and in some cases will not directly align with DAC Sector definitions.

The six goals of Education for All (EFA) are:
1. Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children
2. Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to, and complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.
3. Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes
4. Achieving a 50 per cent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.
5. Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls' full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality.
6. Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills.

United Nations agencies receive contributions on a calendar year basis. From 2008‑09 core contributions are shown separately for UN humanitarian agencies and UN development agencies. Previous financial year data reflects this change.
'Humanitarian, Emergency and Refugee Programs' now includes the WFP, UNRWA and UNHCR. Previously they have been recorded against 'UN, Commonwealth and Other International Organisations'.
'Multilateral Replenishments' includes expenses for new commitments to multilateral development banks and other multilateral funds. In 2008‑09, new commitments are budgeted for the Asian Development Fund (ADF — the concessional lending arm of the Asian Development Bank) of $332.8 million, for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) of $73.1 million, for the Global Environment Facility of $59.6 million, and for the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund of $11.3 million. See Table 10 on page 56 for multilateral program details, including a breakdown of the $175.0 million estimated cash by multilateral institution in 2008‑09 (items for IDA, ADF, HIPC, GEF and MPMF in Table 10).

'Add: cash paid to multi-year liabilities' adds back $178.7 million in cash expected to be paid to multilateral commitments in 2008‑09, of which $175.0 million relates to cash funding for multilateral organisations — see Table 10 on page 56 for program details and amounts in 2008‑09 for each multilateral organisation. The $178.7 million in cash for this item ('Add: cash paid to multi-year liabilities') also includes other cash paid against multi‑year liabilities such as the Nauru Settlement Treaty (also discussed in note (b) to Table 2 on page 65).
