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.

Building Resilient Communities through Marine Conservation in Madagascar

This project aims to contribute to achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets by supporting efforts in Madagascar to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in the Nosy Hara marine protected area (MPA). As part of Canada’s International Biodiversity Program, this initiative supports efforts to improve the governance and sustainable management of the Nosy Hara MPA and its 4 Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs). This project seeks to promote women’s leadership in managing protected areas and support surrounding communities vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss to adopt climate-smart practices and diversify their means of income. Project activities include: (1) delivering technical support and capacity building training for MPA and LMMA managers; (2) initiating coral reefs restoration efforts; (3) providing training on leadership, advocacy and natural resource management for women and vulnerable groups; (4) promoting alternative sustainable livelihood options for communities; and (5) facilitating climate-related disaster mitigation measures’ adoption.
