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.

The project aims to provide in-service teacher training for newly appointed teachers and the School Networks Program (SNP) for experienced teachers with over 5 years of teaching training for school leaders. Over 5 years, 2,500 principals will be enrolled and trained in Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA)'s Advanced Instructional Leadership Professional Diploma (AILPD). Jordan's Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) and Ministry of Education (MoE) asked Canada to continue supporting QRTA's programs aligned with the MoE’s professional development plans. Project activities include: (1) supporting the Teacher Education Professional Development training program; (2) supporting the Advanced Instructional Leadership Professional Diploma training program; and (3) supporting Subject-Specific School Networks training program - an in-service subject-specific pedagogy teacher professional development program. Given that the MoE aims to take on responsibility for all teacher and leadership training, this will be the final phase of Canadian funding for QRTA.

Strengthening agropastoral women's adaptation to climate change in Chad
7456894 P011261001
This project aims to increase agropastoral women's adaptation to climate change and food security in the Guéra province in Chad. The project promotes the adoption of climate-smart agricultural solutions and food systems by women working in the millet, sorghum and poultry value chains. In addition, the project strengthens the effectiveness of microfinance institutions, women's organizations and state structures in supporting green economic growth.
Project activities include: (1) training women and their organisations in associative life and functional literacy; (2) providing technical assistance to microfinance institutions and government structures to develop financial services tailored to the needs of women in the millet, sorghum and poultry value chains; (3) training women in green entrepreneurship support services; and (4) promoting women's participation in agricultural and livestock sector management bodies.
The project will have a direct impact on 1,500 women entrepreneurs, 30% of whom are young women under 35 and 70% over 35. A further 15,900 people will benefit from the initiative, the majority of them women.
