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.

Climate Change and Disaster Resilience in Myanmar
5007063306 D003678001 P001940001
This technical assistance project contributes to building disaster-ready and financially resilient national and local governments and private sector institutions in Myanmar. It also increases resilience in communities in Ayeyarwady, a disaster-prone and highly populated delta region of the country. The project contribute to: (1) strengthening climate and disaster risk governance at the national level and in Ayeyarwady; (2) enhancing the capacity of government agencies and selected communities in Ayeyarwady to undertake pilot activities focused on disaster resilience in the agriculture and rural development sector; and (3) increasing awareness and capacity for disaster risk financing in government and the private sector at the national and local levels. It is expected that over 25,000 women and men will have the tools to cope with the impacts of climate change and natural disasters, benefitting an estimated 300,000 people in up to 300 communities.

Reducing Violence Against Women in Politics in Haiti
5007063356 D004480001 P002632001
This initiative aims to reduce violence against women during the elections in Haiti. The goal is to overcome the lack of representation of women in Parliament and promote their political empowerment so that they can take part in the decisions that affect the country’s development and stability. Gender-based electoral violence is considered a primary obstacle to women holding leadership positions and their full participation in the electoral process in Haiti. To bring about structural and behavioural changes, the United Nations Women initiative proposes an approach focused on three areas: (1) a legal framework on violence against women during the elections; (2) governance for the principal institutions involved in the election process (the Provisional Electoral Council, the Haitian National Police; Justice; the political parties); (3) the macho attitudes and sexist and aggressive language against women during elections.
