This grant is Canada's institutional support to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which aims to make information about spending on international aid easier to access, use and understand. Donor countries, developing country governments and non-governmental organizations who have signed on to IATI commit to publishing more timely, comprehensive, and forward-looking information on international development assistance. IATI has developed a common, open, international standard for publishing this information.

This grant supports the IATI Secretariat, which maintains the IATI Registry, website and tools; facilitates technical discussions related to the IATI standard, data publication and use; assesses progress on open aid data; and provides technical support to publishers and users.

This project aims to challenge discriminatory social norms that perpetuate harmful practices, such as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM/C), by empowering adolescent girls between the ages of 10 and 19 to claim their rights over their bodies. The project works to engage with adolescent boys and girls, communities, religious leaders, media, and government, to prevent and respond to SGBV.
Project activities include: (1) engaging with women and men caregivers, including grandmothers, and schools to define action plans to reduce SGBV, child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) and FGM/C in their communities; (2) providing training to adolescent girls between the ages of 10 and 19 to identify SGBV and understand their sexual and reproductive health and rights, linking them to information and services and safe spaces when facing SGBV; (4) supporting girls' and boys' (between the ages of 10 and 19) school-based clubs to discuss gender equality and positive social norms, including harmful impact of SGBV, CEFM and FGM/C; and (5) organizing awareness-raising with government officials, policy-makers, religious and community leaders and law enforcement officers on laws and policies that promote gender equality at federal and state level.
The project expects to reach approximately 22,307 direct beneficiaries (including 8,494 girls and 4,200 boys between the ages of 10 and 19 years old, as well as 5,187 women and 4,426 men caregivers). The project also aims to indirectly reach 253,000 beneficiaries (69,500 girls and 56,970 boys).
