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 will help ensure the meaningful contribution of women and youth from the Casamance region to the Plan Sénégal Émergent [emerging Senegal plan] in terms of food self sufficiency for primary goods.
The project’s activities are as follows: (1) providing technical assistance in implementing a decision making information system regarding agricultural land; (2) training the local partner’s agricultural advisers on geolocation and on measuring and interpreting the boundaries of agricultural land; (3) providing technical assistance in developing a form describing the boundaries of plots that explains and shows the uses and area occupied by the producers; and (4) providing technical assistance in developing training modules to explain to young people and women about access to farm credits and land use applications.
Cégep Limoilou’s primary local partner in carrying out the project activities is the Société de développement agricole et industriel du Sénégal [industrial and agricultural development corporation of Senegal], which is also a beneficiary for all capacity building programs.
