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.

The project aims to stimulate sustainable economic and social development in Mongolia by strengthening the capacity of public institutions and local communities to effectively manage the extractive sector. It is designed to enhance public sector management of the extractive sector in order to maximize its contribution to sustainable economic and social development through responsible resource management. Project activities include: (1) providing leadership training to women civil servants and stakeholder staff in key positions to support and encourage women to assume management roles; (2) providing training to communities and key staff in negotiation, mediation and conflict resolutions skills to promote effective and equitable relations between resource sector stakeholders; (3) building capacity in using gender-sensitive approaches in monitoring implementation plans at provincial and local levels; and (4) developing the web platform for a user-friendly and open source Knowledge Portal.
