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.

Central African Republic - Emergency Assistance in Mbomou - ACTED 2019
7407407 P007394001
February 2019 - After a brief period of calm in 2016, the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) started to deteriorate at an alarming rate in 2017. This trend continued through 2018, which saw a spike in attacks against peacekeepers and civilians alike, mass looting, widespread banditry, and territorial conflicts between armed groups. The crisis in CAR is in essence a protection crisis, with violence against civilians, particularly women and girls, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV cases) commonplace. Approximately 40% of the population is food insecure and only 54% of the population has access to clean water. Regular violence across 80% of the country that is controlled by armed groups continues to exacerbate displacement. Currently, one quarter of the country's population is displaced, either internally or as refugees in neighbouring countries.
With GAC’s support, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 45,125 conflict-affected people in Mbomou prefecture, CAR. This project focuses on nutrition and on increasing access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in and around health and nutrition facilities. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 7 water points; (2) training 50 health professionals on identifying and treating children suffering from severe acute malnutrition; and (3) adapt the water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in 7 communities to support gender-responsive nutrition responses.
