This data release provides further information about the initiatives previously released in the Summary of Initiatives in the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund (CRRF) Foundational Package document published on 29 May 2020 and the Summary of Initiatives in the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund (CRRF) July Package document published on 14 August 2020.

This data release lists all the initiatives disclosed in those documents and provides appropriation details for those initiatives for which increases or decreases to appropriations were approved at the time the original funding decision was made. Where funding for an initiative was held in contingency at the time the original decision was made, no appropriation details will be provided. Fiscally neutral initiatives have not been included.

The data reflects the original funding decision; this may differ from current and/or final appropriation impacts of these initiatives.

Final changes in appropriations relating to the 2019/20 fiscal year will have been included in the Addition to the Supplementary Estimates of Appropriations for the Government of New Zealand for the Year Ending 30 June 2020. Final changes in appropriations relating to the 2020/21 year will be included in the Supplementary Estimates of Appropriations for the Government of New Zealand for the Year Ending 30 June 2021 due to be published on Budget Day 2021. Appropriation changes relating to the 2021/22 year will be included in the Estimates of Appropriations for the Year Ending 30 June 2022.

For both packages, the initiatives listed in the Raw Data sheet or its alternate format crrf-summary-intitiatives-data-v1-2021-04-23.csv file will not total to the total funding amount announced in respect these packages. This is because not all initiatives were announced at the time of the publication of the original documents.

The data contained in this release comes from a manually compiled data set.
