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.

Standing Together for Nutrition - Phase II
7456712 P012681001
Phase II of the "Together for Nutrition" project aims to respond to the urgent need to provide timely, improved, and globally indicative data to measure the unfolding effects of climate change on nutrition and nutrition on climate change. This project proposes to fill global knowledge gaps through a robust synthesis and consolidation of current evidence on the impact of climate change on nutrition. This is done through various causal pathways, providing a much-needed understanding of the impact on anemia, stunting, wasting, and other micronutrient deficiencies. This research and advocacy project seeks to prioritize policy-relevant evidence generation on mitigation and adaptation, translating this evidence into actionable recommendations and amplifying key messaging that ensures priority on nutrition policy and programs in shock mitigation efforts. It also aims to convene global experts to gather and synthesize accurate data to inform national and global nutrition policy and program priorities and ensure a gender equity lens. All project activities focus on the gendered impact on nutrition to generate gender-responsive solutions. Project activities include: (1) generating policy-relevant evidence on mitigation and adaptation; (2) translating the evidence into actionable recommendations; and (3) strengthening key messaging that ensures priority on nutrition policy and programs in shock mitigation efforts.
