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.

Accelerator for Women Climate Entrepreneurs
7423596 P006573001
This project aims to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystems for women entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa so that they can play a transformative role in the transition towards low-carbon and climate-resilient communities. The project will conduct consultations with women climate entrepreneurs, policymakers, intermediaries (such as incubators and accelerators) and investors in East, West and Southern Africa to better understand the barriers faced by women climate entrepreneurs in starting or growing their businesses. The evidence gathered from these consultations will be used to inform and pilot incubation initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa. Good practices in climate-focused gender lens investing will be identified and shared, and a road map for international development stakeholders will be developed to provide further gender-responsive support to women climate entrepreneurs and intermediaries.
