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.

Syria Crisis - Emergency Assistance for Palestinian Refugees in Syria and Lebanon - UNRWA 2020
7426193 P009401001
May 2020 – The humanitarian situation in Syria has continued to deteriorate as a result of the civil war in the country. According to the United Nations, an estimated 13.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, with over 6 million internally displaced persons. Years of active conflict and displacement have resulted in severe protection risks and increased vulnerability of millions of people in Syria. Humanitarian access remains a significant challenge and repeated attacks on humanitarian and medical workers continue, adding to the complexity of the humanitarian response.
With GAC’s support, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) emergency response in Syria and Lebanon is contributing to meet the needs of Palestinian refugees. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency assistance, including food, healthcare, water and protection services to meet the basic needs of up to 438,000 Palestinian refugees in Syria and up to 27,700 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon; and (2) supporting up to 51,000 Palestinian refugee children in Syria and up to 4,812 in Lebanon in continuing their school education.
