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 Transition, Retention, and Training for Girls

Agreement Number:

7413754 P007216001 P007216002

Duration: from Feb 27, 2020 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

P007216001: The project aims to strengthen the capacities of adolescent girls and young women, and the broader education system that supports them. The project targets socio-economic barriers that are worsened by the lingering crisis in Zimbabwe, prohibiting girls’ sustained engagement in secondary education and/or training, and their successful transition into adulthood. Project activities include: (1) establishing mechanisms to spread awareness and information campaigns such as Social Analysis Actions groups and peer platforms; (2) facilitating safe spaces in schools and communities for girls to discuss adolescent sexual reproductive health; (3) developing a women and girls mentorship program and network for career, academic, psychosocial, and leadership support; and (4) strengthening advocacy skills and capacities for girls and boys to engage school authorities’ response to their needs and rights, including those of girls and boys with disabilities. The project works to bring together the school community system (schools, school development committees, parents, women and male learners, local leaders, authorities at the local and national levels) to define their own vision and plan for building resilient schools and systems relevant to the Zimbabwean context that are risk aware, safe, and innovative. This project works in partnership with the Coady Institute, which is committed to reducing poverty and transforming societies by strengthening local economies, by building resilient communities, and by promoting social accountability and good governance.

P007216002: The project received additional funding to address keys issues and barriers worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes an increase in unequal distribution of unpaid care work; barriers to girls’ education and risk of non-return after school closures; loss of income opportunities; an increase in gender-based violence and intimate partner violence; limited and unequal access to health care and sexual and reproductive health services. Access to the additional COVID response activities seeks to directly reach 5,750 people, including 1,250 secondary school girls, 1,250 women parents and guardians, 1,000 young women, teenage mothers and people living with disabilities, and 2,250 male parents and guardians. Initial project activities already engaged identified participants.

This project works in partnership with the Coady Institute, which is committed to reducing poverty and transforming societies by strengthening local economies, by building resilient communities, and by promoting social accountability and good governance.

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Feb 27, 2020 to Feb 28, 2022
Description:

P008563001: January 2020 – With the Syria crisis in its ninth year, Lebanon continues to host over an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees, most of whom reside in host communities. As personal savings erode and needs outpace available international assistance, over 70% of Syrian refugees in Lebanon now live below the poverty line. Hosting the highest per capita concentration of refugees worldwide has strained the abilities of local communities to provide essential services, and threatens a delicate balance of peace in the country.

With GAC’s support, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is providing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and shelter services to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. Project activities include: (1) water trucking to vulnerable households; (2) constructing/rehabilitating gender-sensitive latrines; (3) providing rental assistance; and (4) providing protection support.
