eclipsed DEC in FY12. Regions have provided very little inter-VPU cross support, although the networks, especially HDN Anchor, have provided a larger share. DEC is the largest provider of total cross support for policy reports. Over the past five years DEC has consistently provided the largest amount of cross support for policy reports, as indicated in the left panel of Figure 10 below. SDN is the second largest provider, followed the other networks. ECA is the largest regional provider. In the right panel we can see that most of the cross support from DEC is directed toward AFR and LCR.

The shares of cross support for policy reports provided by DEC equals 24 percent of total inter-VPU cross support. SDN, while a large provider of inter-VPU cross support, does contribute relatively little to policy reports as a share of total staff weeks.
