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.

P009527001, P009527002 & P009527003: Canada support to CEPI is intended to address the COVID-19 challenge faced by developing countries. With already weak health systems and limited diagnostic capabilities, developing countries are particularly at risk of the outbreak spreading, potentially bearing a disproportionate share of the cost of the outbreak in terms of human suffering and economic impact. In addition, the disease and necessary containment measures will disproportionately harm the poor and other vulnerable groups in developing countries. This is further exacerbated by existing epidemic breakouts in various developing regions. Moreover, around urban centers in emerging markets and developing economies, the poor are often more likely to live in densely populated housing and large parts of the population have uneven access to water, sanitation and healthcare, making social distancing and personal hygiene difficult. Equitable access to a vaccine represents one of the greatest hopes to contain and ultimately suppress the pandemic, lessen the burden on developing country health systems, and speed up their economic recovery.
In the implementation of COVID-19 vaccine efforts, CEPI will ensure that awardees addressing sex- and gender-based differences following the WHO’s 2016 Guidance for Managing Ethical Issues in Infectious Disease Outbreaks throughout the research and development process.
