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.

Libya - Emergency Assistance - ACTED 2017

March 2017 - Civilians in Libya continue to suffer as a result of conflict, insecurity, political instability and a collapsing economy. The direct humanitarian impact has been that hundreds of thousands of people across the country are now suffering, living in unsafe conditions and high risk hostile environments, with little or no access to life-saving assistance. It is estimated that 1.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Libya. This number includes 241,000 internally displaced people, 356,000 returnees and 437,000 vulnerable Libyans. In addition, there are an estimated 100,600 refugees and 195,000 migrants in Libya which are facing significant protection concerns, with their status making them particularly vulnerable to abuse, marginalization and exploitation. Given the current environment in Libya, many people have embarked on the perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe in hope for better safety.
With GAC’s support, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is providing emergency cash assistance for up to 5,600 of the most vulnerable conflict-people, particularly female-headed households, in the Tripoli and surrounding areas of Libya. Project activities include distributing multi-purpose emergency cash assistance to the most vulnerable households.
