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.

The Programme international de formation en évaluation du développement (PIFED) will provide training to strengthen the evaluation of public programs in French-speaking developing countries. The long-term objective of this project is to foster more inclusive governance in public administrations, in order for programs to better respond to the needs of women and girls. To reach this objective, the project will strengthen the capacity of female evaluators and gender equality specialists, provide them scholarships, promote the use of human rights and gender sensitive evaluations, and implement activities to encourage public administrations to be more inclusive, including by having more women evaluators. Training will be provided in Quebec, in francophone developing countries, as well as through an online platform. PIFED will be implemented by the École nationale d’administration publique (ENAP), which is located in Quebec City.
