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.

Support to the contingency fund for emergencies – World Health Organization - 2024
7460617 P014238001
April 2024 – The World Health Organization (WHO) works with countries and partners to prepare, prevent, respond, and recover from hazards that create health emergencies. This includes disasters, disease outbreaks and conflicts. The WHO’s Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) is a replenishable fund established to provide the resources necessary to rapidly scale up WHO’s initial acute response to outbreaks and emergencies with health consequences. The Fund seeks to fill critical funding gaps from the beginning of an emergency until the organization can access additional sources of funds.
With GAC’s support, the CFE helps the WHO to react early to prevent health emergencies from escalating. Project activities include: (1) deploying experts to assess outbreak threat; (2) delivering essential medicines, supplies, and equipment; (3) training health personnel; and (4) strengthening health sector coordination and health information systems.
