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.

Everyone Gains - Making Governance more Inclusive and Participatory in Northern Lebanon
5007063484 P002445001
This project aims to contribute to more inclusive and participatory governance in the municipalities of Wadi Khaled, in Northern Lebanon.
The goal is to help local leaders and community members (Lebanese residents and Syrian refugees) to develop respectful relationships with one another, and collaborate more effectively to promote social stability. The project is inspired by the concept of a “Diwan” (An Arabic word symbolizing an audience hall or tent, where community members gather to socialize and resolve conflicts). This project targets women and youth, who have traditionally been left out of local decision-making processes, as well as various local leaders and governance actors. Project activities include: (1) providing training workshops; (2) organizing community roundtable discussions; (3) planning community projects; (4) supporting youth community centers; and (5) encouraging cross-municipality collaboration.
This project involves 480 direct beneficiaries and 5,000 indirect beneficiaries.
