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.

Humanitarian Response to Strengthen Food Security Coordination - FAO 2019
7404013 P006585002
January 2019 - Palestinians face a long-term humanitarian crisis, with approximately 1 in 2 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza requiring some form of humanitarian assistance. The impacts on vulnerable Palestinians include limited access to safe water and sanitation, persistent food and income insecurity, and the risk of sexual and gender-based violence.
With GAC’s support, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) supports the food security sector coordination platform to ensure the effective coordination of food security-related interventions pursued by national and international organizations in the West Bank and Gaza. Project activities include: (1) engaging food security actors in sharing information on planning, priorities and findings, and assessing gaps and areas of duplication; (2) building the capacity of organizations working in the food security sector in implementing gender-sensitive programming by providing these organizations with training, technical advice and analyses on gender-related issues in food security; (3) contributing to inter-sectorial coordination by identifying needs and response modalities that may require harmonized inter-cluster responses; and (4) rolling out the resilience marking exercise for the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan for the West Bank and Gaza.
