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.

Enhancing Women’s Political Leadership and Decision-Making in Kenya
7432928 P010459001
This project aims to increase women’s participation in political leadership and decision-making. It directly benefits women aspiring for political leadership, including young women, incumbent members of parliament, elected and nominated members of county assemblies, county peace committee members and women living with disabilities, also survivors of violence against women in elections. Project activities include: (1) running episodes in the form of a TV reality show broadcasted on national television, reaching 3 million Kenyans per week and profiling women leaders in audio, visual and print media. This include the production of TV and radio documentaries of women leaders; (2) working with five women’s rights organizations, two dedicated to working with people living with disabilities, government, political parties and the media; and, also working with members of the academia and faith-based organizations to challenge discriminatory social norms that prevent women’s leadership and advocate for women’s political rights; (3) building the leadership capacity of young women aspirants and women leaders on effective lobbying, communication and decision-making; and (4) providing support to women survivors of violence in elections to access essential services (including legal aid) and seek accountability.
