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 Reproductive health and Gender equality in Nepal and Vietnam
7431912 P007889001
This project seeks to improve access and the quality of reproductive health services for adolescent girls and women of reproductive age in the Kalikot district of Nepal and the Son La province of Vietnam. The project aims to improve health and gender equality (GE) among adolescent girls and women and reduce incidences of child marriages, a form of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The project takes an integrated and holistic approach to empower local adolescent girls and women to exercise their reproductive rights and ensure access to health and reproductive services when needed. Project activities include: (1) conduct participatory-action research (PAR) to enable the identification of community-driven solutions; (2) engaging with local community leaders and health system stakeholders to build the capacity of local health workers, administrators, teachers, young people, and other relevant community actors; (3) promoting the quality of reproductive health services and their use by girls and women, especially for marginalized populations; (4) tackling cultural norms that enable SGBV, including child marriages; (5) consult with beneficiaries in the communities to understand their specific need and respond with appropriate curriculum and training on planning, delivering, monitoring and evaluating gender-responsive health services; and (6) developing appropriate curriculum and train teachers & student facilitators to advance the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the current reproductive health education programs within the communities.
The project expects to reach approximately 1,600 adolescent boys and girls (800 in school and 800 from the community) and directly influence 2,500 women and 2,500 men, members of 60 community groups in Vietnam. In Nepal, the project expects to reach approximately 4,500 adolescents women, 2,000 adolescents man adolescents, 30 local health workers, 45 women community health volunteers, 45 community committees, and 25 religious leaders.
This project works in partnership with International Nepal Fellowship (INF) in Nepal and the Center for Creative Initiatives in Health and Population (CCIHP) in Vietnam.
