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.

Female Leadership Program for Inclusive Security Governance in the Sahel
7435846 P010774001
This project seeks to strengthen a pool of existing regional female experts made up of 30 women from women’s organizations that are members and partners of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP), the project’s partner, in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, by sharing knowledge and adapted tools on Security Sector Reform (SSR) with them. This knowledge gets passed on at the community level, giving civil society organizations a stronger voice and enhancing communities’ access to information about SSR processes. At the same time, the activity will enable this pool to network with national security institutions, enhancing its contributions and leading to positive changes in attitudes about more inclusive governance of security.
