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.

United Nations Relief and Works Agency - Institutional Support 2018-2019
7396983 P006217001
This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. UNRWA uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to support its mandate.
UNRWA’s mandate is to provide assistance and protection to Palestinian refugees in Gaza Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. As the only United Nations Agency mandated to provide assistance to Palestinian refugees, UNRWA delivers basic education, health and social services, and humanitarian assistance to over five million people.
Canada’s support to UNRWA contributes to ensuring that the essential needs of Palestinian refugees are met, builds upon Canada’s longstanding commitment to Palestinians, and supports Canada’s commitment to the goal of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Market-based Opportunities and Skills Training for Women and Youth in Lebanon
7395101 P005217001
The project aims to improve the livelihoods of Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian women and youth between the ages of 15 and 34 in Lebanon, contribute to women’s empowerment, and strengthen the resilience of individuals, communities and systems to withstand regional crises and stimulate economic development.
Growth that works for everyone is fostered by working towards equal participation of women in the Lebanese economy, specifically through skills training and support, technical assistance to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to develop their business and create employment opportunities and by supporting businesses in providing services assisting women’s participation in the workforce.
This project links youth and women to market-driven skills training, in partnership with the private sector to connect youth with employment opportunities. The project also helps entrepreneurs by providing technical assistance or in-kind support packages to accelerate growth and foster merit-based hiring practices.
Training and/or business coaching is also provided to potential start-ups to help create employment. The project supports businesses in developing gender-inclusive practices to increase the hiring and retention of women. Additionally, an analysis of the barriers impeding women and girls from accessing skills and job opportunities is also conducted.
The project identifies services that enable women and youth to overcome barriers to employment (such as daycare and transportation), and helps develop them. To address barriers that prevent women from taking an active economic role, the project is underpinned by community outreach to increase support for enhancing the skills of women and girls, and their expanded participation in the workforce.
