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.

Learning Through Education and Access to Skills for Employment for Refugees and Host Communities
7414623 P007333001
This project aims to empower adolescent girls and young women in the Kalobeyei settlement and the Kakuma refugee camp, and host communities of the Turkana district of Kenya. The project works to improve the enrolment and retention of girls in upper primary and secondary school levels in Kalobeyei and surrounding communities, and to provide gender responsive job market-based skills training in Kalobeyei and Kakuma. The project works towards building girl-friendly school environments, providing targeted learning support to adolescent girls and young women, and generating parent and community support for girls’ education.
Project activities include: (1) improving the pedagogical skills of approximately 180 teachers in 15 schools (8 host and 7 refugee) to ensure that lessons are planned and delivered in a quality, gender-responsive and inclusive manner, and in a safe classroom environment; (2) providing remedial lessons that provide additional study time to approximately 2,800 adolescent girls and young women at risk of dropping out due to poor performance; (3) engaging parents, community (particularly men and boys), and religious leaders to foster safe and supportive environments for girls’ education and to mitigate the risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV); (4) delivering multi-media campaign on gender equitable participation in skills training and trades; and (5) supporting young women through mentorship programs that support life-skills.
It is expected that the project will directly benefit 6,515 girls, adolescent girls and young women (between the ages of 12 and 25) and, indirectly, 42,465 beneficiaries (including 6,798 boys enrolled within the targeted schools).
