The largest amounts spent by International Federation members continue to be in the area of shelter and community construction (CHF 815 million).

Fig. 4.1 reflects how expenditure is split among the International Federation secretariat, the 39 National Society members reporting for this period, and other partners outside the International Federation. The majority of expenditure is being carried out by the member National Societies, while the International Federation also coordinates relief and recovery efforts through other actors to avoid unnecessary duplications or gaps in the provision of assistance. The percentage of assistance programmed through these external agencies has remained steady over the past six months. More partnership initiatives took place during the first two years of the relief and recovery effort with less being expended via external organizations at this stage of operations.

Many of the International Federation member National Societies report that tsunami recovery programming will continue through to end of the year 2010, with some members indicating that programming may continue beyond 2010. (6). Estimated spending projections are shown in Figure 5.

1: The information in this financial summary combines unaudited financial data from 39 independent National Societies (listed below) and the International Federation secretariat, which is conducting tsunami recovery operations on behalf of more than 100 national societies which contributed directly to its tsunami appeal. The financial data for this report was provided by Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and organizations from: Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium – Flanders community, Belgium – Francophone community, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea (Rep. of), Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Qatar, Seychelles, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and United States.
Note
2: Financial reporting was received in local currencies and converted to CHF, which is the official reporting currency of the International Federation secretariat. The foreign exchange rates used were derived in the following way: The exchange rate to translate income is the weighted average rate of Secretariat income receipts from 27 December 2004 through 31 March 2008; the exchange rate to translate expenditure is the average rate from 27 December 2004 through 31 March 2008; and the rate as of 31 March 2008 is used for projected expenditure. The summary table of rates used is included in the financial reporting methodology notes, annexed to this report.
Note
3: Differences between the reporting periods in percentages of funds earmarked are due to corrections reported by Red Cross Red Crescent members during this period.
Note
4: Financial reporting has been restricted to seven categories. Each National Society has its own, unique financial accounting and coding structures. Therefore, for the purposes of consolidating financial figures, the data supplied by the National Societies were simplified into the seven categories shown in Fig. 2.1. For definitions and a detailed list of these categories, see the financial reporting methodology notes, annexed to the Federation-wide semi annual no.3 report.
Note
5: The decrease of expenditure reported in the organisational development category in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives relates to a correction taken for expenditures related to shelter which were incorrectly assigned in the last report. The category East Africa represents the countries of Somalia, Seychelles, Madagascar, Kenya and Tanzania.
Note
6: Financial reporting for this consolidated report has been restricted to a six-year timeframe although some National Societies may project expenditure beyond that date. For purposes of consolidating financial figures, National Societies were requested to adapt their plans to the time frame shown in figure 5. |
