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.

Locally-led Indigenous Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation in Zimbabwe
7454403 P011866001
The objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability to climate change and enhance the well-being of communities and their surrounding Afromontane and sub-Afromontane ecosystems in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. With a strong focus on women, girls and other vulnerable groups, the project will: (i) increase social-ecological system capacity to absorb climate-driven biophysical shocks and stresses by scaling up four core nature-based solutions (conservation agriculture, assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting, improved water management, improved livestock and range management), (ii) increase capacity to absorb socio-economic shocks and stresses (caused by climate change) by promoting enhanced climate resilient livelihoods, based on the sustainable use of biodiversity, (iii) increase local communities’ ability to adapt to future climate change impacts and improve ecosystem management by increasing decision-making and leadership of women and other vulnerable people in community and landscape level governance systems. This initiative was planned by Canadian Foodgrains Bank members (Adventist Development and Relief Agency Canada, Canadian Lutheran World Relief, Mennonite Central Committee Canada, Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund, Tearfund Canada, United Church of Canada, Canadian Baptist Ministries, Emergency Relief and Development Association, and World Renew Canada) and will be implemented with local partners. This project will target a total of 75,000 beneficiaries (37,500 women and 37,500 men).
