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 in Africa: Impacts and Responses For Women and Girls
7419561 P008035001
The project works to strengthen the evidence base in order to improve the design and implementation of gender-responsive climate change policies in sub-Saharan Africa, and to contribute to the empowerment of women and girls as beneficiaries and leaders in national climate strategies.
Project activities include: (1) running a call for proposals for teams of researchers and policy officials to conduct research on gender-responsive climate change policy options; (2) providing mentorship to selected teams in advanced research methods to analyze the economics of gender equality and climate change; and (3) providing training support to researchers and policy officials to understand, communicate, and use the results of this analysis to influence more effective climate change policies and programs.
