Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

The project aims to reduce poverty among smallholder farmers by supporting the development of sustainable agribusiness (the business of agricultural production, including crop production, input supply, and marketing of agricultural products). The project aims to increase the incomes of smallholder farmers, increase investment in agriculture and rural communities, and increase demand for sustainably produced agricultural commodities. Project activities include: (i) developing business models for sustainable agricultural production, post-harvest handling and marketing; (ii) training and advising private sector buyers and input suppliers to train and provide services to smallholder famers; (iii) training bank staff on new financial products for smallholders; (iv) training plantation staff on sustainable community investment; and (v) training consumer products firms about market opportunities of sustainable products.
