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.

Nature-Positive Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation
7448117 P011740001
This project aims to improve low carbon, climate resilent economies in rural areas of Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe for enhanced well-being of communities, especially women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. The project will use Nature-based Solutions coupled with landscape level restoration as a solution to increasing threats to livelihoods and food security that make a key contribution to climate change adaptation. This project will contribute to restoring ecological functionality and enhancing human well-being in rural areas and increase the ability of targeted landscapes to absorb biophysical shocks and stresses caused by increased climate change.
Project activities include : (1) Gender responsive Nature-based Solutions experimentation-innovation-learning cycles completed with women, girls, and other vulnerable groups; (2) Facilitation of water efficient and nature positive agriculture; and (3) Gender-responsive awareness and advocay campaings carried out on inclusive community and landscape governance, relevant policies, and role of women in biodiversity conservation and landscape governance.
