What's the state of NZ's foreign aid?

Since the National government has been in power the proportion of aid going towards economic development has risen from less than 10 percent to nearly a third, at the expense of directly targeting poverty. Much of that money has been spent on big ticket infrastructure projects, including a 20 million dollar new runway in the Solomon Islands - which is still yet to become operational.
