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.

Support to the South Sudan Peace Process
7427543 P008775001
This project aims to sustain the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring Evaluation Commission (RJMEC)’s critical role in the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS). This project works to advance the permanent constitution-making process, increase public awareness of the implementation of the R-ARCSS, bolster the RJMEC Secretariat’s engagement with transitional institutions and mechanisms, and enhance RJMEC’s staff capacity. The RJMEC’s mandate under the R-ARCSS is to steer South Sudan through the transitional period until the 2022 planned elections, and to promote provisions implementation as described in this peace agreement.
Project activities include: (1) the monitoring and overseeing the implementation of the R-ARCSS and the Reconstituted Transitional Government of National Unity mandate and tasks, including adherence of the Parties to the agreed timelines and implementation schedule; (2) facilitating the establishment and the operationalization of security mechanisms critical to the R-ARCSS; and (3) building the capacity of relevant actors, institutions and mechanisms critical for the successful implementation and effective monitoring of the peace process.
