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.

Equal Spaces: Social Housing to End Spatial Apartheid in South Africa
5007062329 P001466001
The project aims to revitalize inner city neighbourhoods that provide accessible housing and improved socio-economic conditions for low income and previously disadvantaged South Africans. The project supports the South African Government in the implementation of its ambitious national housing program. Project activities include providing technical assistance and training to develop the knowledge, skills and capacity of the National Department of Human Settlements, the National Association of Social Housing Organizations, and up to 30 other social housing institutions to: (1) apply better planning and implementation mechanisms for affordable well-located housing; (2) establish effective partnerships between social housing institutions and other national stakeholders; and (3) effectively deliver and manage accessible housing.
