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.

Fight against the spread of insecurity and violent extremism in West Africa
7465944 P015663001
The project is designed to help reduce the spread of insecurity and violent extremism on the border area between Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali by establishing local conflict management mechanisms that are coordinated across borders, with a particular focus on women, youth and the most marginalized groups within the communities. Project activities include the following: (1) building the capacity for dialogue and coordinated efforts among the target populations; (2) increasing their capability to mobilize and build networks to manage tensions and conflicts in their communities; and (3) strengthening the capacity of local organizations that work with women, youth and marginalized groups. This is achieved through training, coaching, technical and financial support (grants), and by implementing local and cross-border initiatives focused on peacebuilding and stabilization.
