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.

Project activities include: (1) improving access to quality learning for dropouts and providing gender-responsive subject matter training to teaching assistants to teach dropouts in their indigenous language and bridge them into primary school; (2) reducing gender-based violence to ensure safe and secure communities and institutions, education administration and training officials to recognize signs of harassment; (3) developing adolescent women’s leadership skills to set up co-curricular activities in secondary schools; (4) establishing community watch groups to prevent child marriage, gender based-violence and sexual harassment; (5) enhancing employment skills, training girls and women on market-driven trades followed by job placement and informing employers on best practices creating decent work environment; and (6) raising community leaders’ awareness on the benefits of women’s participation in the labour market.
This project expects to benefit 30,000 indigenous and Bengali primary school students and 15,000 secondary students.
