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.

Changing Humanitarian Financing in the Global Context
7414097 P006623002
This project seeks to support the development of more robust humanitarian financing data in order to help provide effective and efficient humanitarian assistance, and sufficient funding where needed throughout the world.
This project works to enhance the evidence base on humanitarian financing for decision-makers and develop an understanding of the needs of, resources required, and data gaps to provide humanitarian assistance to crisis-affected populations, especially women and children.
Project activities include: (1) developing subject-specific reports and briefings; (2) contribute to the production of the Global Humanitarian Assistance (GHA) Report; (3) investing in the online Development Data Hub, through which users can access financial and resource flow data alongside poverty, social and vulnerability indicators; (4) engaging in key humanitarian fora to increase awareness and use of Development Initiative’s research and evidence; (5) consolidating Development Initiative’s research to help make it a trusted platform for information and analysis about crisis financing; and (6) continuing the “helpdesk” service which directly responds to users to help them understand and use the Development Initiative’s data and analysis.
