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.

This will be accomplished in the following ways:
• Through partnership and joint management of distinctions based investments that will enhance and expand Indigenous ELCC, and support the transfer of ELCC to Indigenous organizations;
• Strengthening foundational supports for Indigenous ELCC through, for example, Indigenous led quality improvement projects; and
• Adapting and improving existing federal programs to be more flexible, adaptable and horizontal across federal departments as a first step prior to transferring control, so that programs cohesively support the goals of the Framework including supporting self determination.

Syria Crisis - Assistance for Refugees and Displaced Persons in Multiple Countries - UNHCR
5007062859 D003922001 P002105001
September 2016 – The Syria Crisis has undermined security and stability in the Middle East and has resulted in unprecedented humanitarian needs. Now in its sixth year, the conflict in Syria has led to the worst displacement crisis in the world. Millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, stateless persons and asylum seekers in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey are vulnerable to violence, food and income insecurity, health risks, and sexual and gender-based violence. Canada is helping to reduce the vulnerability of millions of crisis-affected people, especially women and children, through a broad spectrum of humanitarian assistance activities across Syria and in refugee hosting countries.
GAC’s multi-year humanitarian support to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey is contributing to improved living conditions, livelihoods and protection for vulnerable populations, especially women and girls. In Egypt, project activities include: (1) improving freedom of movement for people of concern; (2) supporting the enrollment of up to 35,000 registered children in primary education; (3) providing cash assistance to people of concern; and (4) supporting the resettlement of refugees in third countries.
In Jordan, project activities include: (1) providing cash assistance to Syrian refugee and asylum-seeker families; (2) providing medical referrals to secondary and tertiary care for Syrian refugees and asylum-seekers; and (3) supporting the enrollment of up to 15,000 registered non-Syrian refugee children in primary education.
In Lebanon, project activities include: (1) registering up to 18,000 non-Syrian refugees; (2) supporting access to secondary and tertiary medical care for Syrian refugees and asylum seekers; (3) supporting the enrollment of up to 118,980 Syrian refugees and asylum-seekers in primary education; (4) providing basic domestic items to Syrian refugee and asylum-seeker households; and (5) providing legal assistance and protection services.
In Turkey, project activities include: (1) providing psychological support to vulnerable persons; (2) providing cash-based assistance conflict-affected families; (3) providing core relief items to Syrian and Iraqi families; and (4) supporting the resettlement of up to 7,300 refugee families.
In Iraq, project activities include: (1) registering Syrian refugees in Iraq; (2) providing protection services and psychosocial support; and (3) providing legal and cash assistance to conflict-affected people, including asylum seekers and stateless persons.
