3 This information shows whether 2007-2008 efforts were consistent with established priorities. Given that the Program Activity Architecture covers a wide range of types of intervention, it is important that the Agency make judicious choices regarding investment targets. The variation in budget intensity indicator measures the Agency’s capacity for exercising its mandate according to the priorities it has set. Its calculation is based on the difference between the strategic outcome’s total share of actual spending in 2007-2008 versus its total share of actual spending in 2006-2007. Total spending excludes the Infrastructure program activity.
4 The leverage effect is obtained by dividing total cost of projects (at approval) by total funding authorized by the Agency.
