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.

Canada-International Monetary Fund Technical Assistance - Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa
7402723 P000363001
CIDA’s grant to the Canada-IMF Technical Assistance Sub-Account supports technical assistance to developing country governments to build their capacity to address public debt, balance of payments problems, and financial sector crises. Specific areas of technical assistance include public debt management, public expenditure management, and financial sector reform. Activities include diagnostic studies, training courses, workshops, on-line advice and support, and the placement of technical assistance experts and advisors.
Technical assistance is a core activity of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and accounts for one quarter of its operations budget. IMF technical assistance helps countries design and implement sound macroeconomic policy, which is essential to sustainable economic development and a key element of the response to financial crises. The majority of the Fund’s technical assistance is provided to low- and lower-income countries. By helping individual countries reduce economic weaknesses and vulnerabilities, the Fund’s technical assistance contributes to a more robust and stable global economy.
