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.

Fostering Resilience in Iraq through Sustainable Water Management and Climate Smart Agriculture
7457183 P013518001
The Fostering Resilience through Sustainable Water Management and Climate-Smart Agriculture project aims to improve the Government of Iraq’s ability to develop and apply evidence-based planning to better manage and sustain Iraq’s water resources. Specifically, it seeks to promote a more efficient and equitable distribution of limited water resources by using and applying accurate hydrological models, strengthening inclusive community-led decision-making related to water management. It also seeks to promote climate-smart agriculture practices to enhance the resilience in Iraq’s increasingly water-scarce and saline agricultural context. The project includes innovative components, such as nature-based solutions for mitigating salinity problems, restoring aquatic ecosystems and piloting hydroponic technologies in Iraq.
