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.

Investing in nature for water security and climate resilience
7473575 P016607001
This project aims to strengthen water security and climate resilience in municipalities and local communities located in Peru’s mining regions, especially for vulnerable women and men. This includes mobilizing close to $40 million USD in additional public and private investments, to ensure water availability for thousands of Peruvians and the private sector. Project activities include: (1) restoring and sustainably managing 20,000 hectares of critical water ecosystems; (2) strengthening the capacity of Peruvian authorities to more effectively manage natural water infrastructure; (3) expanding community access to nature based water management solutions and technologies; (4) improving policy frameworks that promote long term investment in water resources; and (5) integrating nature based tools and policies into national institutions and water utilities to benefit close to 60,000 people and help secure the long term sustainability of Peru’s natural water infrastructure systems.
