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.

Scaling-up climate information services for women farmers in Nicaragua
7453349 P012108001
The project aims to scale-up climate and weather information services and climate-smart agriculture approaches to help farmers understand climate risks, anticipate, and manage extreme weather events, take advantage of favorable climate conditions, and adapt to climate change in the Nicaraguan Dry Corridor. The project is designed to make climate and weather information services more user-friendly and gender-sensitive to improve the ability of farmers, in particular women, to apply climate data. Project activities include: (1) Designing climate information services that better reflects and services women’s needs in agriculture; (2) Developing new modalities and dissemination channels to make climate data more accessible to women; (3) Designing and mainstreaming bundles of best-fit climate-smart agriculture technologies and biodiversity conservation approaches across the farmlands of Nicaragua’s Dry Corridor; and (4) Building capacity of rural women leaders on climate and biodiversity-focused advocacy and governance. Direct beneficiaries include at least 1,000 rural women smallholders from within 18 farmer organizations in Nicaragua’s Dry Corridor. Over time, the project will deliver climate resilience impacts and benefit indirectly to a further 30,000 farming families across 58 municipalities in Nicaragua.
