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 Inclusive Education in Jordan through the Accelerating Access Initiative Phase ll
7429368 P010077001 & P010077002
P010077001 & P010077002: This project supports the Jordanian Ministry of Education (MoE) to ensure that all girls and boys (including refugee children, children with disabilities, and out-of-school children) have access to quality education in Jordan, regardless of their nationality. This education promotes life skills, improved learning outcomes, and work readiness. This project builds on the first phase of the Accelerating Access Initiative (AAI), which supported the MoE to provide formal education in Jordanian’s public schools to more than 140,000 Syrian refugee children. Under the second phase of the AAI, the MoE expand its outreach to provide formal and non-formal education opportunities to over 200,000 children, including Syrian and refugee children of other nationalities, children with disabilities, out-of-school children and other vulnerable Jordanian children. Project activities include: (1) covering tuition fees and textbooks for all refugee children in Jordan; (2) providing training to teachers and educators on inclusive and gender-sensitive education, child protection and blended learning approaches; (3) meeting the needs of the most vulnerable children, including children with disabilities, by equipping non-formal education centers and schools with furniture and equipment and (4) supporting community-based approaches aimed at increasing enrollment rates and preventing school drop-outs in vulnerable communities.
As with all pooled funded projects, Canada collaborate with other donors and the Government of Jordan to promote effective, transparent, and accountable country systems, increase donor coordination and harmonization and strengthen mutual accountability. This type of assistance fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, strengthening efforts for effective focussed aid, and long-term development results. This project is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.
