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.

Support to African Union Champion for Peace
7466462 P015752001
The project will support the Government of Angola’s efforts to create regional stability through inclusive dialogue, conflict resolution, and mediation. It will be framed by the Luanda Peace Process, an Angolan initiative to establish and implement sustained peace between the Governments of DRC and Rwanda. Following recent decisions by regional bodies and the AU, the Luanda process is to be merged with the Nairobi process which had been led by the Kenyan government. This investment will support Angolan engagement in this new merged process focused on peace mediation for the crisis in the DRC. The project will also establish a Centre of Excellence for Peace and Reconciliation, build capacity in the Angolan Ministry of External Relations to support inclusive peace building and conflict resolution, and provide administrative, logistical, and advisory support for mediation dialogues and verification missions. These efforts will strengthen the role of the AU Champion of Peace and Reconciliation which is held by Angolan President João Lourenço.
