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.

Diagrams 2,3,4,5 and 6 (from page 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 2010‑11 shown in Diagram 2 are generated using an analysis of the nature of actual and planned expenditure in the current (2009‑10) year combined with the expected sectoral allocation of new resources through this 2010‑11 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.
