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.

Agreement:

Supporting inclusive environments for women in peace operations

Agreement Number:

7452158 P012949001

Duration: from Jul 24, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026
Description:

This project aims to prevent and address sexual harassment and abuse within and by the personnel of 20 Troop and Police Contributing Countries (T and PCCs) in four regions: Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Middle East North Africa (MENA). Red de Seguridad y Defensa de América Latina Internacional (RESDA L) seeks to implement this project over three years.

Sexual harassment and abuse within security institutions of T and PCCs to United Nations Peace Operations (UNPO) is a barrier to the meaningful participation of women in peace operations. It also increases the risk of sexual exploitation and abuse of deployed personnel on mission. This can damage the image and reputation of UNPOs, decrease their efficacy, and risk prolonging or exacerbating the conflicts in the countries and regions of deployment. Through RESDAL, the project aims to conduct research, prepare cross-regional reports, and select and present case studies. It also seeks to organize webinars to bring together the security forces of T and PCCs, relevant and diverse civil society organizations and academic institutions, and UN Department of Peace Operations representatives. The aim is to foster an interregional sharing of challenges and responses to sexual harassment and abuse.
