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.

7465942 P015718001
This project aims to empower diverse young women and men to be collaborative leaders driving peaceful change in the northern borderlands of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. It seeks to increase the prospects for sustained peace and security in the northern border regions by empowering young people to strengthen the emerging peacebuilding ecosystem in the region. The project also aims to ensure that decision-making and peace processes are grounded in, and responsive to, the vulnerabilities and frustrations driving youth recruitment, strengthening youth resilience against being drawn into violence. Project activities include: (1) building the capacity and confidence of youth for peace leadership; (2) shifting barriers to youth engagement to create a conducive environment for their meaningful engagement in decision-making and peace processes; and (3) connecting youth locally, nationally and across borders.
