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.

Oliga Health Centre for Mothers and Children
5007062162 P001021001
This initiative supports the maternal and child health centre of Oliga, which contributes to reducing mortality rates among mothers and infants in the health district of Cité Verte (Yaoundé II) by increasing the medical coverage of this district, one of the poorest in the central region of Cameroon.
Activities include: (1) building and operating the maternal and child health centre in Yaoundé; (2) purchase and installation of the centre’s equipment; (3) recruiting and continuous training of staff; and (4) implementing health outreach and information activities for beneficiaries while liaising with existing maternal and child health programs and institutions in Cameroon.
About 25,000 patients are expected to receive health services annually (15,500 women, 6,500 children and 3,000 men) at Oliga’s maternal and child health centre. Indirect beneficiaries are estimated at 350,000 people.
Afrique Future Canada is implementing this project in collaboration with the local partner Afrique Future Cameroun.

P001035001: The project, also known as the Enhance Mother, Newborn, and Child Health in Remote Areas through Health Care and Community Engagement (EMBRACE) project, aims to reduce preventable stunting and maternal-child mortality in hard-to-reach and peripheral regions in Cambodia, Burma, Philippines and Rwanda. Project activities include: (1) delivering awareness-raising sessions on maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition issues for women of reproductive age, as well as male and female community members; (2) training midwives, nurses, traditional birth attendants and community health volunteers on safe birthing practices; (3) building and equipping clinics and/or delivery rooms for expectant mothers; and (4) providing supplies and training on how to gro healthy and diverse foods in household gardens. This project is expected to contribute directly to the improved health of approximately 100,000 people, including approximately 33,000 children of vulnerable groups including ethnic minority groups and displaced persons returning to their homes. In addition, more than 360,000 people are expected to benefit indirectly from this project's results.
This initiative is implemented through a consortium led by Adventist Development and Relief Agency Canada (ADRA), including the Hincks-Dellcrest Institute (HDI) and Youth Challenge International (YCI).
