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 for the Structuring of a Profitable, Fair and Sustainable Family Agriculture
5007063030 P001286001 P001286002
The goal of this project is to increase income and improve food security (i.e. access to a sufficient quantity of good-quality food) for 165,000 small-scale farmers in the rural regions of Benin. In order to meet that goal, the project seeks to improve the farms’ production and profitability. The project also supports the creation of an environment that fosters investment and innovation, and the establishment of more inclusive practices that will help women become more empowered and help family farms adapt to the effects of climate change.
Project activities include: (1) providing training, technical support, and funding for farm improvement projects; (2) training trainers and coaches from farming organizations so that they are better able to fulfil their role; and (3) providing training and support for community leaders, farming organizations, and the government in order to develop and implement structural improvements for family farms. The project supports the Benin Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAEP), the Plate-forme nationale des organisations paysannes et des producteurs agricoles du Bénin (PNOPPA), the Groupement des exploitants agricoles du Bénin (GEA), and the Fédération des Unions de producteurs du Bénin (FUPRO).
