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.

Right to safe abortion
7448179 P010707001
The project aims to increase women’s and girls’ bodily autonomy by expanding access to information and services related to sexual and reproductive health and rights, and to safe abortion care. Ipas DRC will work with government and community partners in the provinces of Nord-Kivu, Sud-Kivu, Haut Katanga, Tanganyika and Kinshasa to translate the enabling legal and policy framework into improved access to quality abortion care.
The project aims to improve women’s ability to make safe reproductive choices that support their educational and career goals, which makes a significant contribution to greater gender equality in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This project’s vision is that a multi-sectoral group of stakeholders, including organizations working on broader socio-political issues, make sexual and reproductive health rights and safe abortion care a gender justice priority.
Project activities include: (1) training and supporting over 200 public- and private-sector health care providers (clinics, integrated health centres, etc.) to provide comprehensive abortion care; (2) supporting 85 health care facilities to offer sexual and reproductive health care, including contraception, abortion, post-abortion care and support in response to gender-based sexual violence; (3) training and supporting 40 community organizations in terms of sexual and reproductive health care; and (4) strengthening the system that refers people to appropriate facilities for abortion and sexual and gender-based violence support, and improving community dialogue on women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive rights and on safe abortion among 24,000 people.
The project’s main beneficiaries are women and girls in the provinces of Nord-Kivu, Sud-Kivu, Haut-Katanga, Tanganyika and Kinshasa.
