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.

Supporting Inclusive Grassroots Democracy in Ukraine
7415151 P006727001 P006727003
This project aims to strengthen Ukraine’s grassroots democratic movement by supporting actors with limited opportunities to grow due to their small size and lack of experience to become more effective, diverse and gender sensitive. The project promotes an inclusive and consolidated civic and political process, dialogue and consensus building, and enhancing women's civic participation, especially in the rural regions of Ukraine, and advocates for vulnerable or marginalized groups, such as LGBTQ2 organizations and activists.
In response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, they adapted certain project activities to address new immediate needs and protect previous development gains. Canada’s development partners in Ukraine pivoted project activities to respond to the evolving context in several ways, such as providing emergency supplies, equipment and services, mental health support, transportation, and accommodation. the beneficiaries, scope, expected results, and geographic location of project activities may have changed from the original description.

Supporting Girls to be Safe to Learn
7415237 P007692001
This project aims to improve learning outcomes for women and girls in fragile and conflict-afflicted settings. The project supports the Safe to Learn Campaign, a global, inter-agency and multi-country initiative, dedicated to ending violence in and around schools, so children are free to learn, thrive and pursue their dreams. The project focuses on addressing violence as a barrier to girls’ education, and providing support for developing materials to enhance the integration of gender equality across the Safe to Learn Campaign.
Project activities include: (1) increasing the knowledge and capacity of girls and boys, teachers, administrators, community members and religious leaders, to recognize the impact of violence in and around schools; (2) promoting positive gender equitable norms and preventing harassment through the use of positive discipline, and addressing gender stereotypes in communities; (3) strengthening education and child protection systems to be gender responsive by preventing sexual and gender-based violence in and around schools; and (4) empowering girls and boys by engaging them in the design and delivery of solutions to prevent and respond to violence through life skills education.
The project expects to benefit 229,320 children, including 135,560 girls.
