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.

Girls' Education for a Better Future in the Great Lakes Region
7412221 P007260001
This project aims to increase the empowerment of girls, adolescent girls and women through education, including those who are refugees, displaced, returning to their countries of origin and persons with disabilities in the Great Lakes region. The project is a regional response to the educational needs of girls, adolescent girls and women. The project identified twenty-four primary and secondary schools in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda to benefit from its activities, with a total of 34,827 students between the ages of 5 and 18 (50% of whom are girls and 80% of whom are refugees/displaced persons). The project anticipates helping 22,172 girls enrolled in these schools (between the ages of 5 and 18, and of whom 73% are refugees or displaced persons) to experience an improvement in their education. 1,280 out-of-school girls and women will benefit from informal vocational training and support to develop income-generating activities and 6,300 women to strengthen their commitment to girls' education. This totals 22,314 empowered girls, adolescent girls and women as direct beneficiaries of the project. Project activities include: (1) conducting a participatory, holistic and gender-sensitive study on the individual status of girls and adolescent girls, including refugees, displaced persons, returnees and persons living with disabilities (RDRD), and the obstacles and specific demands related to their education; (2) developing, with the education staff, teaching and learning materials that are inclusive, gender-sensitive and adapted to the realities of the most vulnerable girls and adolescents, including RDRD; and (3) strengthening coordination mechanisms among local, national and regional actors involved in women's education to increase their participation and the consideration of their voices.
The project is implemented by the Fondation Paul Gérin-Lajoie and the Centre for International Studies and Cooperation in partnership with local partners, including Caritas in the DRC, Maison Shalom in Rwanda, the Concertation des collectifs des associations féminines de la région des Grands-Lacs and Humanité et inclusion (Handicap International).
