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.

Creating Safer Schools in Kenya
5007060531 D000055001
This initiative aims to improve the safety and quality of school and community environments for 120,000 vulnerable girls and boys in Kwale and Kilifi counties. The initiative supports governments and community organizations to improve access to safe and high quality learning environments, to strengthen child protection systems and increase birth registry with the objective of reducing early marriage, violence, and abuse of children. The initiative fosters innovation and harnesses the strengths of Kenya’s vibrant mobile technology industry to pilot initiatives such as digital birth registration.
Some initiative activities include: (i) training and mentoring people responsible for child protection, including teachers, health staff, police, judiciary to identify, report and refer cases of child abuse, and help rehabilitate and reintegrate children; (ii) training and mentoring members of school management committees and community-based organizations to detect and prevent abuse and exploitation and take action against offenders; (iii) establishing and strengthening child protection units, and support groups for survivors of abuse and their families; (iv) setting up a system for community based reporting of child protection cases using mobile phone technology; (v) establishing a teacher-offenders database to increase the number of cases reported and to institutionalize reference checks for teachers seeking employment; (vi) supporting the expansion of Kenya's national child helpline; (vii) developing a pilot digital birth registration system and supporting awareness campaigns to prevent early marriage and promote birth registration; (viii) reviewing policy and legislation to identify gaps and action needed to address child protection in schools and communities; and (ix) supporting the establishment of equitable water and sanitation facilities for girls and boys in 40 schools.
