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.

GAIN: Keeping Food Markets Working
7420893 P009061001
The project aims to help sustain the availability and affordability of nutritious and safe foods, and contribute to lowering the burden of ill health, particularly for the most vulnerable. The project also supports food market continuity and protects the sustainability of key workers and supply chains in food systems across 10 countries in Africa and Asia, which face potentially catastrophic supply and demand disruption due to the coronavirus (COVID-19). The 10 countries for this project include Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, and Tanzania. COVID-19 poses the risk of worsening existing gaps in livelihoods, incomes, and assets unless support for markets and food system workers is done in a gender-sensitive way.
Project activities include: (1) supporting emergency business guidance and grants for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to provide safe and nutritious foods; (2) sustaining and reinforcing the gains of large-scale food fortification; (3) keeping food marketplace infrastructure open, but safer; (4) providing workplace nutrition protection for food system workers and their families; and (5) providing advisory and practical support to governments to help keep critical coordination mechanisms functioning, and help food systems keep working.
