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.

Sub-Saharan Africa Emergency Food Assistance - World Food Programme 2024
7457517 P013966001
[January , 2024] The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saves lives by quickly getting food assistance (cash or in-kind) to vulnerable food insecure populations and helps prevent hunger. As the global lead agency for logistics and emergency telecommunications, WFP plays a major role in providing common services for the humanitarian community. It transports humanitarian workers, carries light cargo for humanitarian agencies and carries out emergency medical and security evacuations. This project operates in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda.
With GAC’s support, WFP provides targeted food assistance to vulnerable populations to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and protect livelihoods. Project activities include: (1) distributing food and cash-based transfer; (2) providing supplementary feeding for children under the age of 5 years, as well as pregnant and lactating women; and (3) providing logistical support and enabling access to the most remote and challenging locations.

Trust Fund for the Multinational Security Support Mission and the Gang Suppression Force in Haiti
7458179 P014129001
The UN Trust fund for Haiti has been established to operationalize the Multinational security support (MSS) mission’s mandate for Haiti, per United Nations security council resolution (UNSCR) 2699, adopted in October 2023. Administered by the UN Department of operational support (DOS), the MSS Trust fund finances activities in support of MSS operations include : (1) reimbursing the costs of contingent and related personnel and associated self-sustainment costs, for personnel contributing countries to the MSS; (2) delivering MSS related training; (3) acquiring equipment for police contingents deployed to the MSS to operate in accordance with the mission’s mandate; (4) providing logistical support to the MSS including, but not limited to the provision of food and water, fuel, transport, tents, defence stores and appropriate very high frequency (VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) communication equipment. This includes High frequency (HF) communication equipment to enable interoperability with the MSS and in-theatre medical evacuation; and, hiring of personnel, consultants, experts and support staff; and (5) providing technical assistance to support the establishment by the MSS of its compliance mechanism for it to meet requirements under the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy.
Canada's initial contribution enables DOS to defray its initial costs. DOS would first need to work with donors and personnel contributors to establish a governance structure to define and prioritize the mission's needs and develop a reimbursement framework for troop and police contributing countries. It would also need to create a model and sequencing chart to ensure the disbursement of funds is based on needs.
