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.

Preventing child soldier recruitment in peacekeeping
7461467 P014518001
With Canada’s support, the Henry L. Stimson Center aims to increase the effectiveness of United Nations (UN) peace operations to prevent the recruitment and use of child soldiers by: improving the UN Member States’ understanding of how to implement the Vancouver Principles (VPs), and enhancing the ability of peacekeepers to identify and develop plans to prevent or mitigate risk factors associated with the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Project activities include: (1) conducting research on child protection needs in Liberia, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic; (2) publishing research reports on the future challenges to UN-led or other supported peace operations concerning the recruitment and use of child soldiers; and (3) conducting workshops and policy discussions regionally in Africa, Latin America, the Indo-Pacific, and at the UN Headquarters in New York.
