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.

Syria and Yemen crisis – water, sanitation and hygiene- ACTED 2024
7464678 P014999001
November 2024 – According to the 2024 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) humanitarian needs overviews, 13.6 million people in Syria and 17.4 million people in Yemen need water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance. In Syria, the ongoing economic and environmental shocks, particularly the water crisis and disease outbreaks, combined with the February 2023 earthquake and ongoing conflict increased the severity of the humanitarian crisis. Half of Syria’s water and sanitation systems no longer function properly, with wastewater often discharged in rivers.
Yemen, one of the most water-stressed countries globally, faces water sources depletion and desertification due to recurrent drought, rising temperatures, and prolonged conflict. Over 80% of Yemen’s population is not connected to the sewer system, and 39% lacking access to safe sanitation disposal. The country experienced the largest cholera outbreak reported in recent history from 2016 to 2022, with 2.5 million suspected cases. As of 2024, the WASH sectors in Yemen and Syria face significant funding gaps, with 16.2% of WASH needs in Syria and 44.5% in Yemen funded according to OCHA's 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan.
With Global Affairs Canada’s support, ACTED helps meet the critical WASH needs and reduce health risks for vulnerable women, men, boys and girls in Northern Syria and Yemen. Project activities include: (1) strengthening gender-inclusive WASH facilities in health facilities; (2) strengthening emergency water assets and water trucking support in at-risk communities; (3) strengthening emergency sanitation infrastructure in at-risk communities; and (4) providing emergency cholera hygiene kits and promoting hygiene awareness. With these activities, the project aims to reach 555,500 beneficiaries.
