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.

Empowerment through Skills Development
7428587 P006840001
This project contributes to improved economic participation by women and adolescent girls in Tanzania. It works with folk development colleges (FDCs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) to increase rates of participation of women and adolescent girls in skills training programs, improve access to business, skills and gender and human rights training in their communities, and expand opportunities in the informal and formal sectors through post-training support to transition to employment or self-employment. Project activities include: (1) building the capacity of FDCs and CBOs to develop and deliver gender-responsive programs; (2) providing gender training to partner staff and volunteers and establishing a gender champions network; (3) revising program content and teaching methods to better integrate gender considerations and ensure appropriate support services and facilities for women and adolescent girl students, especially young mothers; and (4) engaging local communities in awareness-raising activities on the benefits of women’s education and economic empowerment to encourage enrollment and create an enabling environment for women graduates.
The project will be implemented in collaboration with Tanzania’s Department for Vocational Education and Training, and through partnerships established between select Canadian colleges and institutions and 12 Tanzania FDCs. In addition, 12 local CBOs will be chosen to identify skills sectors for short programs, work with project gender specialists to design and deliver training, establish post-training support networks and facilitate connections to financing organizations, and connect women graduates with mentors.
