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.

Her Future, Her Choice: Strengthening Young Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
7403155 P005242002
This project aims to support poor and vulnerable adolescent girls and young women in targeted communities of Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia by increasing their knowledge of and access to their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Project goals include: (1) empowering adolescent girls and young women to demand access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services so they can make reproductive health choices for themselves; (2) improving the quality of SRH information and services; (3) strengthening the capacity of women’s rights organisations and youth-led organisations to advocate for policies and resources that support SRHR; and (4) promoting the engagement and activism of Canadian youth, including those based in the Canadian North, through knowledge-exchange campaigns on global SRHR issues.
Project activities include: (1) engaging communities to understand and transform discriminatory social norms, particularly sexual and gender-based violence facing adolescent girls and young women; (2) strengthening health systems to deliver comprehensive SRH services, including family planning, contraceptives, and safe and legal abortion; and (3) building capacity of local and Canadian women’s rights organisations and youth-led organisations to advocate for change in SRHR policy and practice.
The project is expected to train 596 health workers (including 367 women) and 1,000 community resource persons in comprehensive SRH information and services and reach 250,000 women and adolescents (80% of whom are adolescents and young women) and 90,000 men (including youth) through improved sexual and reproductive health information and services. It also indirectly affects approximately 800,000 people (51% of whom are women).
