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.

Enabling Blue Carbon in Indonesia
7448808 P011545001
This project aims to support the Government of Indonesia in establishing healthier blue carbon ecosystems that can help Indonesia better adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Blue carbon refers to carbon sequestered and stored in coastal and marine ecosystems such as mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses. Projects activities include: (1) promoting the full integration of blue carbon ecosystems into national development and climate change strategies; (2) positioning blue carbon as the sixth component in Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution plan; and (3) incorporating blue carbon within the national monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system. Direct project beneficiaries include over 1,000 policymakers at national and subnational levels (40% women). Indirect beneficiaries include many coastal communities – particularly women, youth and other vulnerable populations. Also, these communities would benefit from having biodiversity and livelihood of better-managed blue carbon ecosystems.

UNICEF Emergency Afghanistan Support 2023
7448987 P012528001
February 2023 - Before the Taliban takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was already one of the worst in the world. Since the Taliban takeover, humanitarian needs continue to worsen, and the challenging operational context has been further complicated. In 2023, an estimated 28 million people will require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19), widespread economic decline, and climatic events.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is mandated by the United Nations General-Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, help meet their basic needs, and expand opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF works in developing countries through its development and humanitarian assistance programming to fulfill its mandate, including promoting the equal rights of girls and women and support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities.
With Global Affairs Canada’s support, in humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is providing life-saving health and nutrition interventions for children, pregnant and lactating women to support the treatment, growth and development of healthy children. The main activity for this project is to procure ready-to-use therapeutic food to treat severe acute malnutrition and child wasting.
