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.

RENACE: Restoration and ecological connectivity in areas affected by forest fires in Peru
7473180 P015992001
This project aims to strengthen climate adaptation and socio-ecological resilience for more than 5,000 people, particularly women, young people, and members of indigenous communities in the province of Padre Abad, Ucayali region, Peru. It is based on an integrated territorial approach to prevent, reduce and respond to forest fires, while promoting ecological restoration, inclusive governance and the transition to sustainable agricultural practices.
The project seeks to promote the adoption of nature-based solutions and the implementation of gender-sensitive and intercultural territorial governance mechanisms. Project activities include: (1) strengthening the capacity of local authorities, indigenous organizations and communities to plan and implement integrated forest fire management strategies, including community early warning systems; (2) promoting the adoption of regenerative and climate-smart agricultural practices, such as agroforestry systems, vegetated firebreaks and living barriers, to restore degraded ecosystems and improve sustainable productivity; (3) supporting the restoration of corridors to strengthen ecological connectivity and landscape resilience; (4) improving access for women, young people, and indigenous peoples to public and private climate finance mechanisms that are tailored to their needs and realities; and (5) strengthening the capacity of financial institutions, local governments, and land management platforms to integrate gender, climate, and biodiversity considerations into their policies, services, and investments.
