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.

Canada-Caribbean Resilience Facility
7398921 P006224001
The Canada-Caribbean Resilience Facility aims to support Caribbean countries—including Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname—to strengthen their long-term resilience and build back better in the wake of natural disasters. It seeks to mobilize a multi-disciplinary “rapid response” team of local and international experts to provide technical assistance and capacity-building for recovery and reconstruction in such diverse fields as disaster risk management, engineering, environmental management, environmental and social safeguards, gender equality, disability inclusion, procurement, and public financial management. It also supports governments to identify, access, and mobilize emergency funding to ensure timely financing of recovery activities and put in place public financial management systems, protocols, and guidelines that can be triggered in the event of natural disaster. Project activities include: 1) developing preparedness and recovery capacity assessments for sectors most affected during disasters, including housing and transport; 2) providing hands-on technical assistance support and training in areas critical to recovery and reconstruction such as project management and procurement; and 3) preparing guidelines to streamline budgeting protocols in post-disaster situations.
