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.

Summative Evaluation of Nutrition International
7452282 P005253004
Nutrition International is Global Affairs Canada’s largest implementing partner in global nutrition programming and is the leading organization in micronutrient supplementation worldwide. Canada is the founding and principal donor to NI, providing on average $50 million annually in recent years, and almost $900 million since its creation in 1992. Given this longstanding partnership, a summative evaluation exercise was conceptualized in order to assess Nutrition International’s programming under three grants funded by GAC and covering a 9-year timeframe. The purpose of this summative evaluation is threefold: i) inform quality improvements to the design and delivery of NI’s nutrition programmes and policies; ii) inform GAC and other donors’ nutrition programming and decision-making; and iii) demonstrate accountability of NI’s program results Canadian and global stakeholders.
