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 Sahel Integrated Resilience Programme (SIRP)
7465795 P012881001
This project aims to builds resilient food systems and empowers communities in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger. The United Nations World Food Program implements this project to address the interconnected challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, food insecurity, and socio-economic instability. It works to strengthen communities against climate change and improve their ability to manage shocks independently, reducing the need for humanitarian assistance. The Sahel Integrated Resilience Programme seeks to reach over 5 million people (50.8% women) in 4,500 villages and rehabilitate 420,000 hectares of land by 2028. The project focuses on areas most vulnerable to climate shocks and food insecurity. It rehabilitates degraded land, improves agropastoral productivity, and connects smallholder farmers to local markets. The project also addresses malnutrition, promotes climate-resilient crops, and supports local food systems. Project activities include: (1) creating asset and supporting smallholder market; (2) integrating nutrition; and (3) integrating school-based package interventions.
