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.

Sudan Crisis - Protection, Cash and WASH - Plan International Canada 2024
7464872 P015026001
February 2026- Sudan is facing one of the world’s most severe and complex humanitarian crises, driven by armed conflict, mass displacement, economic collapse, weakened state institutions, recurring disease outbreaks, escalating natural disasters and climate shocks. The ongoing conflict has resulted in the largest internally displaced population globally (over 7.3 million) and the collapse of livelihoods, markets, and services across the country. Over 30 million people (more than half the population), of whom 48% are children, are in need of humanitarian assistance.
With GAC’s support, Plan International Canada helps provide life-saving multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), child protection support and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to vulnerable refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Ouaddaï in Chad, Upper Nile in South Sudan, and North Darfur and and North Kordofan in Sudan. Project activities include: (1) providing urgent child case protection management; (2) establishing and operating child- and adolescent-friendly spaces; (3) establishing and training community-based child protection mechanisms; (4) providing multi-purpose cash assistance to the families of children and adolescents with acute needs; (5) rehabilitating boreholes to provide clean and safe drinking water; (6) establishing fully functioning and well-maintained WASH facilities; (7) launching hygiene promotion campaigns; and (8) providing WASH-related non-food items and hygiene kits to children, adolescent girls and boys and their households.
