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.

Aswan Skills Development Program

Agreement Number:

5007061280 D001112001 P000823001

Duration: from Apr 21, 2015 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

The project seeks to improve the livelihoods of at least 6 000 young women and men (approximately 40% women) in Aswan Governorate, Egypt, by strengthening the quality and range of technical and vocational training, professional training, entrepreneurship support programs and employment services available to young women and men in Aswan. Through support to local training institutions, government agencies and Aswan University, the project improves the provision of demand-driven skills training, provides programs for entrepreneurs, and supports job seekers through career counselling and job-matching. The project also builds more effective linkages between the labour market and training institutions to reduce the mismatch between training programs and the job market.

Project activities include: (1) refurbishing and equipping training facilities in Aswan; (2) building the institutional and technical capacities of education centres to provide demand-driven technical, vocational, employability and entrepreneurial skills training; (3) providing workers with on-the-job training, career management support, professional development programs and management skills training; (4) supporting community-led enterprises, young entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises with a focus on the agri-business value-chain; (5) establishing consultation mechanisms to improve the link between training institutions and market demand and improve the design, financing, performance management and quality control of job training programs; and (6) conducting research to better understand the constraints facing female job seekers.
