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.

Empowering women through sustainable entrepreneurship in Morocco
7385266 P001843001
This project aims to economically empower rural women in Morocco’s Marrakesh-Safi region. It seeks to increase women’s decision-making power over their businesses, to improve business development support services’ responsiveness to gender equality issues. The project also seeks to engage communities in supporting women’s rights and breaking down gender stereotypes (in public and private spheres) related to women’s entrepreneurship. It aims to ensure that women have genuine, full control over the assets, technologies, finances and benefits of their economic activities and to significantly reduce or even eliminate gender stereotypes in rural communities in the Marrakech-Safi region. The project has been extended to ensure the restart and full implementation of activities and the achievement of planned results in communities affected by the earthquake of September 8, 2023 (magnitude 6.8), as well as to increase the economic resilience of affected women and communities in the post-earthquake context. Project activities include the following: (1) implementing perennial and inclusive groups of Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) for marginalized women, and providing these women with training to foster their personal development and promote more efficient management of their finances; (2) guiding women-led cooperatives in developing ties with financial institutions and credit sources so they can implement their business plans; (3) training business support institutions and civil society organizations in order to support women-led businesses and use dialogue instruments to reduce the gender-related barriers facing women’s entrepreneurship; and (4) training targeted households so that tasks are divided fairly and there is greater acceptance of women’s involvement in economic matters.
