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.

Gender-Responsive Climate-Smart Agriculture in Nicaragua
7428803 P005771001
The project aims to improve the resilience of women, men, girls and boys to climate change-related food insecurity, especially addressing its gendered impacts. It seeks to: (i) increase the practice of gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture, thus increasing peoples’ access to diverse foods; and (ii) increase women’s participation in decision-making at the local level. The project supports vulnerable women-headed households who are reliant on subsistence farming.
Project activities include: (1) promoting gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture technologies, the use of drought-resistant varieties of beans and maize, community seed banks, and community garden planting to help increase women’s incomes; (2) providing training on entrepreneurship and financial management, market links, gender equality, women’s rights and leadership to women’s groups; and (3) conducting gender sensitization sessions for women and men leaders, youth, and male family members to increase community support for women to participate in decision-making.
The project aims to directly impact 3,345 direct beneficiaries (of which 1,750 women and girls) and 6,500 indirect beneficiaries for a total of nearly 10,000 people reached.
The project is implemented by Casa-Pueblito with partners including Gloria Quintanilla Women’s Cooperative, UCA Tierra y Agua, Community of Jiñocua, and Hogar Luceros del Amanecer.

Multi-country Sexual Reproductive Health and Gender-Based Violence response to COVID-19 – IRC - 2021
7428956 P010198001
January 2021 - The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a defining global health crisis of modern times, with over 2,000,000 recorded deaths worldwide. In countries that are already experiencing humanitarian crises and have highly vulnerable populations, COVID-19 has placed even more pressure on essential services, infrastructure, and systems and resulted in adverse effects on the provision of and use of health and protection services by women and girls. Country-level interventions will be implemented through a global program that will allow for a greater overall coherence and visibility of sectoral results achieved.
With GAC’s support, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is providing protection and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) support to refugees and vulnerable people in six countries, including Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan and South Sudan. Project activities include: (1) providing COVID-19 safe SRHR services; (2) providing COVID-19 safe sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) case management and services; (3) providing cash grants for especially vulnerable persons; (4) training care providers on women’s empowerment topics; (4) empowering women and girls to contribute to COVID-19 impacted SGBV and SRHR services; (5) increasing the number of women-led organisations implementing SRHR and women’s empowerment programming; and (6) improving overall coherence and visibility of comprehensive results achieved through the global program.
