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.

Strengthening Community Cohesion in Cox’s Bazar
7398595 P006383001
The project aims to build the economic resilience and social cohesion for persons living in the host communities affected by the influx of displaced Rohingya people into Cox’s Bazar. Cox’s Bazar is one of Bangladesh’s poorest and most vulnerable districts, with poverty well above the country’s national average. The influx of over 740,000 Rohingya since August 2017 has increased economic tensions and competition for scarce resources, including for jobs and income, among the Rohingya and the host communities, as well as having a serious impact on local infrastructure and services. This situation poses a threat to peace and stability in the area, raising concerns about potential inter-communal or extremist violence which could have catastrophic implications, especially for women and children who are the most vulnerable.
The project aims to reduce the drivers of conflict and violence in Cox’s Bazar by providing skills training, employment support for women and young men in the host communities, and quick-impact community development projects to rehabilitate infrastructure and improve the safety and security of women and girls. To strengthen community cohesion, the project builds local capacity to address and defuse conflicts, including empowering women as community mediators and champions of peace.
Project activities are: (1) providing livelihood skills training for an estimated 1,000 women and 2,000 young men; (2) providing cash-for-work for an estimated 3,000 people to carry out quick impact community development projects, such as repairing infrastructure, rehabilitating public spaces and installing solar lighting to improve safety; (3) establishing a multi-purpose women’s centre for skills training for women and adolescent girls in the camps where Rohingya people have settled; (4) providing information on sexual and gender-based violence, and sexual and reproductive health and rights, human trafficking and child marriage to reach an estimated 6,000 women per year; (5) providing skills training for approximately 360 women per year; and (6) establishing a Local Volunteer Mediators Network. Setting up this Network comprises training local officials, traditional leaders, women’s groups and media on mediation and dispute resolution; and holding workshops on the prevention of violent extremism, and on peacebuilding from a gender perspective.
