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.

UNdaunted: Educating Girls with Disabilities in Somalia
7412650 P007688001
This project aims to remove barriers to girls’ education in Somalia, particularly those with disabilities. It builds on the positive experience of Canadian philanthropic engagement via UNICEF Canada’s UNdaunted Initiative already established in Sub-Saharan Africa. This project works to improve learning outcomes for girls, including those with disabilities, by increasing their equitable access to safe, quality, inclusive, education within an education system that recognizes their needs, and provides innovative and quality gender-responsive formal and non-formal education. The project aims to target 156 schools in up to 20 districts of the Federal Government of Somalia and Federal Member States: the Puntland State of Somalia and Somaliland. Project activities include: (1) facilitating public awareness around disability and gender issues through activities such as community outreach, and providing training to education stakeholders on developing policies on the protection of girls from gender-based violence in schools and to foster safe learning spaces; and (2) providing technical assistance to Ministries of Education and educational officials to strengthen capacity on data collection, as well as to integrate adolescent girls with disabilities into their education systems. This project is expected to reach 22,500 girls, including 7,500 girls with disabilities in the formal and informal education systems. The project is also expected to benefit 1,248 teachers; 1,092 members of community education committees; and 70 government officials.
