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.

P000710001: This project aims to reduce death and illness among newborns and children in underserved districts in Ghana. By expanding paediatric nurse programs, this project seeks to build the professional skills of paediatric nurses and health workers to provide quality, cost-effective, evidence-based nursing and midwifery care to newborns and children.
Project activities include: (1) establishing three new training institutions for paediatric nursing specialist programs and continuing professional development courses; (2) developing standardized curricula for the paediatric nursing specialist program and the continuing professional development course at the national Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives; (3) delivering paediatric nursing specialist training programs to 500 nurses; (4) delivering continuing professional development courses on subjects such as sickle cell disease, neonatal care and nutrition to 1,000 nurses, midwives, and community health workers; and, (5) facilitating the adoption of essential policies including equitable national recruitment, retention and deployment strategies for scale-up with a focus on underserved regions.
The project expects to reach about 1,500 people, including nurses, midwives and health workers, directly with training. Approximately 6,700,000 children and newborns are also expected to benefit from better health services as a result of the scale-up of paediatric nursing programs in Ghana.
DFATD has set aside funds for an evaluation of this project. For administrative reasons, the funds identified for this purpose have been included in the amount appearing on this page.
P000710002: This project aims to reduce death and illness among newborns and children in underserved districts in Ghana. By expanding paediatric nurse programs, this project seeks to build the professional skills of paediatric nurses and health workers to provide quality, cost-effective, evidence-based nursing and midwifery care to newborns and children. This project is providing additional funds in response to the immediate needs of the COVID-19 pandemic for enhanced access to quality healthcare, strengthening education and awareness and demystifying rumours of COVID-19.
Project activities include: (1) expanding COVID-19 related training across Ghana to all levels of the health system; 2) enhancing the knowledge and skills of nurses and other health workers in delivering health care during the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) ensuring health workers are equipped and continue to provide routine care to children and families in a safe manner; and 4) leading of outreach activities by clinical leaders and change agents, and graduate nurses, who are trusted in their communities.
