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.

Improving Data for Better Health Service Delivery
7454567 P007564001
This initiative will build from GAC-funded "BASE-Building a Baseline for SRHR Data in Mozambique" also known as "SARA" and will focus on improving the quality of evidence-based and routine data to contribute and facilitate decision-making focusing on sexual reproductive maternal, neonatal, and child health (SRMNCH). The proposed initiative aims to update two surveys, the Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) and the Service Assessment and the STEPwise Approach to NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPs). WHO methodology will be used in both. It will also conduct an assessment report on the barriers afftecting demand for reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health services in Mozambique.
Most of the project’s activities will be related to data collection and processing. However, since some activities under the STEPs survey will generate medical waste in the form of syringes and other medical material to collect blood samples for screening for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, the project falls under Category B of the EIP Screening Tool.

Eradicating polio in Pakistan - for all
7456395 P013655001
This bilateral development assistance project aims to contribute to the interruption of wild polio and vaccine-derived polio throughout Pakistan. It seeks to address gender barriers to immunization to ensure all girls and boys receive the polio vaccine. Pakistan is one of the last 2 remaining polio endemic countries in the world (Afghanistan is the other), where the wild poliomyelitis (polio) virus continues to threaten the health and well-being of girls and boys. This project aims to continue the expansion of immunization in rural, remote, and high-risk areas in Pakistan and enhances transmission detection. The project also aims to improve health and nutrition services and outcomes for women and children.
This project builds on Canada’s long-standing commitments and efforts to eradicate polio. It aims to support and advance polio eradication efforts in Pakistan between 2023 to 2024 and 2025 to 2026.
Project activities include: (1) strengthening the capacity of the polio program to immunize all girls and boys in rural and remote areas in Pakistan; (2) deploying special vaccination strategies for mobile and refugee populations in difficult to access locations; (3) engaging with communities on integrated health services. This includes including maternal and child health, nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, and essential immunization; and (4) maintaining polio surveillance and detection systems by testing sanitation points and strengthening community-based surveillance networks.
The project is implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
