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.

P006602001: This project aims to provide an inside view and highlight neglected stories of the Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh and Myanmar. It also provides more field-based and gender perspectives from the front lines of this global humanitarian crisis, and encourages more representative media coverage on gender issues.
Project activities include: (1) increasing coverage of the Rohingya Crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh, with special attention to young women leaders, political systems, and entrepreneurship in the Rohingya refugee camps; (2) amplifying the voices and stories of women and girls in humanitarian settings in mainstream media coverage; (3) conducting field reporting on mass displacement and refugee issues; and (4) analyzing aid policy to inform effective and accountable crisis prevention and response.
This project is being implemented by IRIN, a non-profit association whose mission is to put independent journalism at the service of the millions of people affected by humanitarian crises.
