The rows cover different programs, initiatives and periods. They use the same dollar scale; they are not parts of one total. Missing dollar amounts are excluded from each sum. ~ marks totals that include estimates.
The totals combine annual budgets with multi-year plans. Government funding can refer to a different period from a programme’s headline announcement; the amounts are recorded independently.
Programme pages retain funding amounts in their original currencies. A blank dollar field means no supported dollar amount is recorded for that stage.
