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.

Nature-based Climate Solutions Knowledge & Capacity Initiative
7437301 P010814001
This project supports women and men in developing countries as beneficiaries of climate-resilient and nature-positive development, by strengthening of knowledge and capacity of Southern and Northern civil society and Indigenous peoples organizations to design and implement gender-responsive, nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation projects in the world’s most vulnerable regions. These regions include Sub-Saharan Africa, small island developing states, and least developed countries.
The project provides training in nature-based climate solutions project design, implementation, and management through online courses and other knowledge sharing and networking platforms. It will directly benefit an estimated five hundred users of the project website, 300 users of the online course from 25 countries (50% of which are in the global south), and 300 participants at in-person, hybrid or virtual networking/conferences.
