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.

Upgrading Teachers' Colleges
5007060359 D000259001 P000572001
This initiative seeks to improve the quality of education for primary and secondary students by increasing the number of qualified female and male teachers and improving the quality of the training they receive. The Government of Tanzania has identified the improvement and expansion of the infrastructure of education institutions as an important step in improving the quality of teacher training and of education. An improved physical learning environment for teachers helps to attract new recruits and ensures that teacher trainees are motivated and equipped to learn the skills they need to provide quality education to Tanzania’s primary and secondary school students.
The project supports the repair and expansion of four teachers’ colleges in order to improve learning conditions for about 3,300 teacher trainees annually. The Government of Tanzania's Education Sector Development Program aims to build, expand and repair teachers’ colleges, including classrooms and student dormitories, furnish classrooms and dormitories, and equip laboratories so that the colleges are more conducive to learning and can accommodate larger numbers of future teachers.
