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.

Increasing climate resilience and improving farmers’ livelihood in Ghana
7463702 P000520003
The project aims to support the Government of Ghana in its short-term recovery efforts from the extended drought spell while building capacity for medium to long term resilience efforts against climate shocks. The project supports a widescale assessment of the extended dry spell and its impact on poor and vulnerable households in the Upper East region of Ghana. The project builds local capacity for planning, implementing, monitoring, and assessing the impacts of crisis response initiatives and integrating lessons learned to inform sustainability and future responses to similar crisis. Project support may include experimentation and would contribute to an evidence-based approach on findings related to the extended dry spell, drawing on the insights and experiences of beneficiaries, including farmers, pastoralists, decentralized government agencies, and private sector actors along the agriculture value chain. This project presents an opportunity to gather real-time information on the extended dry spell to rapidly respond to its consequential effects on the livelihoods and productivity of the farmers. The project also supports farmers with capacity building and agricultural inputs to enhance food security and livestock production while building resilience to the effects of climate change.
