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.

Building Resilience to the Impacts of Climate Change and COVID-19
7423485 P009486001
This project aims to strengthen the resilience of agro-sylvo-pastoral communities in the Boucle du Mouhoun region, once known as “the breadbasket of Burkina Faso.” The region now struggles to play that role because of soil, forest and water resource degradation. In Burkina Faso, against a backdrop that already includes climate, security, and humanitarian shocks, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a negative impact on all activity sectors. The project focuses on greater empowerment through the mastery of practices and measures to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and climate change.
The project activities include: (1) developing and broadcasting radio shows, television spots, and microprograms on COVID-19 in local languages; (2) educating and training technical partners on COVID-19’s impact on various types of activities, notably the new constraints on women and youth, who will be trained on measures to prevent and mitigate the illness; (3) boosting households’ livelihoods by restoring 500 ha of land for agro-pastoral production; (4) enhancing 50 ha of rice-growing lowlands in support of women and youth; and (5) creating, rehabilitating, and securing 25 ha of nature conservation areas.
