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.

Supporting Economic Growth through Value Chain Development in the West Bank

The project aims to confront constraints faced in the agricultural community by providing smallholder producers of fruit and vegetables and livestock herders with the technical assistance required to lift them from subsistence operations that yield little or no profit into sustainable semi-commercial enterprises. This technical assistance seeks to improve access to land and water, introduce proven production technology and build post-harvest handling, processing and marketing capacities. The project expects sales of value-added produce won't depend entirely on the export market but seek expanded access to the domestic market for locally produced goods. Project activities include: (1) contributing to the growth of the Palestinian economy; (2) reducing its dependence on external assistance; (3) reducing poverty levels; and (4) reducing food insecurity by providing domestic markets with affordable local produce.
