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.

Climate resilient livelihoods for women in northern Ghana -I

Agreement Number:

7466405 P013877001

Duration: from Mar 7, 2025 to Mar 31, 2031
Description:

The project aims to improve the resilience of agricultural livelihoods, particularly for women, by promoting the adoption of gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture practices. The project operates in 5 regions of northern Ghana where farming communities are highly vulnerable to droughts and other climate-related challenges. Project activities include: (1) providing training through tailor-made training programs on climate-resilient farming practices and resources to enhance women’s capacity to adapt to climate change and to address specific barriers such as limited access to land, technology, and financial services; (2) facilitating access to financial products such as low-interest loans, waived collateral, and flexible repayment terms. These financial products are tailored to 14,500 smallholder farmers for purchasing farming inputs and to 480 agribusiness traders for storage and trade as well as to 20 small and medium size enterprises to enhance value-added processing; and (3) delivering leadership training to strengthen women’s ability to take an active role in community planning and decision-making processes related to agriculture and climate adaptation within their communities.
For administrative reasons, this initiative appears as two separate elements in the GAC system. Projects P013877001 and P013877002 are the same project.
