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.

Bangladesh - Humanitarian Response to the Rohingya Refugee Crisis - Development and Peace 2019
7403434 P007060001
January 2019 – Following the outbreak of violence in Northern Rakhine State in August 2017, more than 735,000 Rohingya crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh over a period of several months. These refugees joined some 200,000 to 300,000 Rohingya already in Bangladesh following earlier waves of displacement. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in significant humanitarian needs.
With GAC’s support, Development and Peace is helping to provide safe shelters and secure settlements to Rohingya refugees in the camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Project activities include: (1) distributing material for transitional shelters and upgrades to existing shelters according to priorities identified by refugee households; (2) providing house-to-house technical assistance following the distribution of shelter materials; (3) providing gender sensitive semi-permanent shelters for particularly vulnerable households, such as women or child-headed households; and (4) providing solar lighting and other site improvements.
