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.

Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Disaster Resilience in Latin America and the Caribbean
7448188 P012417001
This project seeks to reduce climate and disaster risk in Latin America and the Caribbean through the accelerated implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, ensuring that it incorporates a climate-smart, gender-responsive approach to foster greener, more sustainable, and equitable communities. It also seeks to improve climate-smart disaster prevention by reducing existing climate and disaster risks and avoiding generating new and emerging risks. Project activities include: (1) creating conditions to strengthen gender equality and women’s empowerment in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction processes throughout the region; and (2) strengthening the understanding of disaster risks, including vulnerability, exposure, a lack of coping capacity. This allows for more comprehensive, climate-smart and risk-informed decision-making at the individual, household, community, national, and regional levels.
