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.

P008241001: Ebola Crisis - Humanitarian Assistance in the DRC - OCHA 2020
P008241002: Burkina Faso Response - OCHA - 2019

P008241001: October 2019 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been battling its 10th Ebola outbreak since August 1, 2018. It is second only to the 2014 West Africa outbreak in magnitude. As of September 11, 2019, there have been 3,099 cases of Ebola in the DRC with 2,074 deaths. In addition, four deaths were reported in Uganda between June and August 2019. On July 17, 2019, the WHO declared this outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”, a designation that indicates that a crisis has the potential for global reach.
With GAC’s support, this project aims to provide funding to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to bring together humanitarian actors and Congolese authorities in order to ensure a coherent response to the ongoing crisis. Project activities include: (1) advocating for multi-sectorial coordination for humanitarian response; (2) supporting operation readiness and preparedness in neighbouring countries; and (3) strengthening the emergency telecommunications system.
P008241002: October 2019 – Over the course of 2019, there has been increased insecurity in the northern and eastern regions of Burkina Faso, including attacks against civilians. This insecurity has contributed to significant population displacements, with almost 290,000 people fleeing their homes and finding refuge in neighboring communities, as of September 2019. These rapid population displacements caused severe loss of livelihoods, stress on host communities’ existing resources, and food insecurity. More than 1.5 million Burkinabés are now in need of humanitarian assistance with over 1.2 million food insecure people and close to 600,000 in need of nutrition assistance. In addition to the food and nutrition needs, which more than quadrupled over the course of 2019, specific needs for shelter and household goods, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), protection and health services also more than doubled, especially for displaced and host communities.
