Functions of government (#cofog)

The Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG) was developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and published by the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD). It can be applied to government expense and the net acquisition of non-financial assets (outlays). COFOG has three levels of detail: Divisions, Groups, and Classes.

The divisions could be seen as the broad objectives of government, while the groups and classes detail the means by which these broad objectives are achieved.

The initials “CS” or “IS” follow the title of each class in parentheses to indicate whether the services produced by general government units and included in this class are collective or individual services, and thus whether individual and collective final consumption expenditure should be recorded in respective functions. This is in line with provisions in the European system of accounts 2010 para. 3.104 -3.107.

The description of the COFOG classification as published by the UNSD is reproduced here.

#cofogWW hashtags are systematically defined for each function of government as classified in the Detailed structure and explanatory notes of COFOG, Classification of the Functions of Government.

There are hashtags at two levels, for government divisions and classes.

Division hashtags

A government division hashtag has the structure #COFOG01, which ends with the numeric division code 01, 02, 03, … until 10, as summarized in the tweet below.

In country specific government division hashtags the #COFOG01 is transformed using the two character ISO code, for instance IN for India, and a postscript "fg" into #IN01fg as illustrated in the figure below for all government divisions in India:

The "worldwide" government class hashtags are listed at this Actor Atlas page with versions in nine other languages.
