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.

Environmental Rehabilitation and Improving Livelihoods in Cox's Bazar
7398783 P006361001
The project aims to secure a safe and healthy environment for the affected host community population in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. It aims to do so by: (1) addressing their urgent cooking fuel needs; (2) improving their economic livelihoods and food security; and (3) rehabilitating the natural resource base while preventing further environmental degradation in the region. Being one of the world’s largest refugee camps, Cox’s Bazar has hosted an unprecedented number of Rohingya since August 2017. This is putting immense pressure on scarce natural resources in the area, resulting in degraded natural forests, barren hills and an emerging water crisis. This situation calls for responses in order to help restore the environment and ecosystem, as well as measures to prevent further degradation and to support early restoration. The project objectives include supplying alternative clean cooking fuel and technology to women-headed households; providing livelihood and income generation support, particularly to vulnerable women and girls; and fostering environmental practices to reduce pollution and encourage sustainable natural resource management. Project activities include:
(1) distributing liquid petroleum gas (LPG) stove kits, including burners, hoses, regulator and gas cylinders; providing monthly refills of LPG; training on safe usage, best practices in cooking methods and fire safety; raising awareness on community fire safety and prevention through distributing outreach material (for example, radio communication, leaflets, posters); and providing fire service and civil defence training on safe usage and management of the LPG cook-stoves;
(2) providing training and start-up support for fostering livelihoods and income-generation; establishing gender-inclusive, climate-sensitive farmer field schools for improving food production and post-harvest storage of high demand and high nutrition crops; promoting the adoption of climate-sensitive farming and fishing technologies and practices; and
(3) implementing cash-for-work programs for land stabilization through erosion control, reforestation and maintenance work; establishing agro-forestry and collaborative forest management systems; and implementing cash-for work programs for planting of fast-growing wood fuel plants/tree nurseries and seedling production.
This project is a component of the US$118 million multi-donor “UN-Joint-Project To Address Cooking Fuel Needs, Environmental Degradation and Food Security for Populations Affected By The Refugee Crisis” implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agricultural Organization(FAO) and administered by the UNDP.
