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.

OAS Mission to Support the Fight Against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH)
5007062818 P001922001
This initiative aims to strengthen mechanisms to fight corruption and improve the rule of law in Honduras. To do so, it focuses on four main areas of action: preventing and combating corruption; reforming the Honduran criminal justice system; reforming the political and electoral system; and public security.
Project activities include: (1) providing technical advice to Honduran institutions such as the Attorney General’s Office, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the National Police of Honduras and other entities; (2) establishing an observatory of the criminal justice system to help civil society hold the Government to account; and (3) providing support to the implementation of the new Law for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, Journalists, Media Personnel, and Justice Officials.
The project, implemented by the Organization of American States (OAS), is directly strengthening capacity of civil society and public servants involved in Honduras’ justice and political systems; ultimately indirectly benefiting the entire Honduran population.
