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.

Conflict Prevention and Mitigation in Sahel Border Regions
7376520 P005169001
The goal of this project is to help stabilize the conflict situation between communities and armed groups in the border areas of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
The project complements existing efforts at dialogue between the groups that signed the Algiers peace agreement and those responsible for its implementation (including the agreement monitoring committee, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and the Government of Mali). The project is focused on areas of tension and conflict not covered by the agreement, but that impact the agreement’s implementation in Mali. The project also supports conflict mediation with non jihadist armed groups and self-defence groups in Burkina Faso and Niger that have close ties with the armed groups in Mali’s border areas.
