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.

Support for needs assessments and analyses of humanitarian crises
7469908 P015729001
Needs assessments rely heavily on the analysis conducted by partners such as IMPACT Initiatives. Further, the rapid expansion of data availability and use has created challenges for the humanitarian community in assessing which data points are meaningful, useful and relevant.
IMPACT Initiatives is the largest independent data provider in contexts of crisis. The organization’s REACH program strengthens evidence-based decision-making by humanitarian actors through efficient data collection, management and analysis in contexts of crisis.

This project seeks to positively transform gender relations to improve the health of women and adolescent girls in Senegal, particularly their nutrition and reproductive health (RH). The project targets 200,000 pregnant/nursing women and 600,000 adolescent girls in the 5 regions most affected by gender inequalities and malnutrition, and worsened by the impact of the pandemic: Kaffrine, Kédougou, Kolda, Sédhiou and Tambacounda.
Project activities include the following: (1) offering professional development in the field of women’s nutrition; (2) developing a strategy to attract women and adolescent girls and build their capacity in positions of leadership, collective action and advocacy on health matters (nutrition and RH); (3) conducting communication and awareness raising activities to help women and girls better understand their rights and needs when it comes to nutrition, RH and gender equality; (4) providing entrepreneurship training to build women’s capacity to manage and ensure the sustainability of micro-, small and medium enterprises that promote nutrition; (5) providing technical assistance to institutionalize gender equality in 12 ministries that contribute to people’s good nutritional status, with the goal of improving service quality; and (6) supporting communities to ensure influential people are engaged in promoting the equitable sharing of power and responsibilities between women and men with regard to health (nutrition and RH).
