Description
The AAFC Grants and Contributions Training series includes an overview of program delivery, from program design to project closure. Training reinforces Government of Canada and AAFC Policies, Directives, and Processes.
Training is designed to build on that foundation by expanding on the AAFC Operations Guide (Ops Guide) and associated guidelines and directives, providing hands-on learning experiences. Learners are given opportunities to ask questions and discuss ideas in an open and collaborative environment through facilitator lead sessions and self-guided pre-course materials.
This training series includes the following courses:
- Introduction to grants and contributions
- Apply and assess in grants and contributions
- Recipient and Project Risk Management Framework (RRMF)
- Award – funding agreement
- Official languages and grants and contributions
- Administer a grants and contributions project
- Audit and acquit grants and contributions
- Understanding the funding cycle
Note: The courses should be taken in the order above where possible.

Apply and assess in grants and contributions
One of the most time-consuming activities in the delivery of grants and contributions programs is in the assess stage of the 8As. In this course, you’ll get an overview of the project assessment framework and other elements, including environmental considerations, what to do if the applicant is a lobbyist and how to identify any conflict of interest.
Award – funding agreement
A grant or contribution agreement is an important legal document with many clauses. The Project Officer is a recipient’s main contact for their project and the program and must work with the recipient to develop the agreement. In this course, you’ll examine AAFC’s standard agreement template to better understand the agreement sections.
Official languages and grants and contributions
To meet the requirements of the Official Languages Act when handling grants and contributions, Programs Branch has produced an official languages assessment tool and guide to be included as part of all project assessments. This course is delivered in partnership with the Official Languages team from the Corporate Management Branch.
