DFAT released a procurement and payment authorization form dated August 3, 2016, documenting a AUD $25,000 payment to the International Peace Institute in New York for policy formulation work related to UN peace operations under the Instrumental Development Fund (IDF). The document shows the payment processing details, including the vendor's address at 777 United Nations Plaza, New York, and an invoice reference number (UN16/160#6). The form indicates appropriate PGPA Section 23 approvals were obtained before commitment of funds. However, the disclosure does not include comprehensive documentation of total historical funding amounts or formal funding agreements between DFAT and the International Peace Institute or its affiliated entities, suggesting those records may have been withheld or were not located in response to the FOI request.
