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.

Strengthening federal governance and pluralism in Ethiopia – program 2017 to 2023
7375090 P002172001
The Forum of Federations program aims to strengthen a more gender-responsive federal system in Ethiopia, enhancing democracy and governance, political stability, and dialogue between the state, regions, and citizens. The project seeks to improve government accountabilities by implementing a more formalized intergovernmental relation (IGR) system with clear roles and responsibilities, more equitable distribution of federal revenues, and increased government responsiveness to regional ethnic issues and citizens’ constitutional rights. Training on leadership, networking opportunities and the extent of the constitution aim to increase women’s influence in government decision-making and promote awareness of their rights and avenues of recourse.
The implementing partner, the Forum of Federations, enhances sustainability by building partners’ local capacity to address current governance issues and facilitating local ownership, knowledge management, and information-sharing among the government and its citizenry. By increasing understanding of women’s and men’s rights in Ethiopia’s constitution and improving consultation between government and civil society, the project also improves the government’s accountability and transparency to its citizens.
