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.

5007062111 P001267001
The project supports strengthening the governance capacities of local governments in seven countries so that they are better able to promote sustainable economic growth. It works with local government associations as partners, and draws on expertise from Canadian municipalities. The project seeks to: introduce and reinforce innovative approaches to local economic development (LED) that promotes an improved enabling environment for LED; facilitate inclusive LED practices that empower women and youth; and promote trade and regional economic development. The project also supports the participation of local governments and local government associations in national and international policy dialogue and knowledge-sharing networks focused on local governance and economic development.
Project activities include: (1) providing hands-on technical assistance and training to local governments, chambers of commerce, and other stakeholders to enhance their expertise in the planning, implementation and promotion of LED practices and policies; (2) carrying out pilot initiatives that promote innovative approaches to LED; (3) working with local governments and partner stakeholders (such as schools and business associations) to improve municipal capacities to provide training and services targeting young and female entrepreneurs; and (4) supporting local governments and private sector stakeholders to design business and trade promotion tools, as well as to identify and pursue trade opportunities.

P001197001: The project aims to increase the availability of skilled health care providers, especially midwives, in order to reduce maternal and infant mortality in South Sudan. The project builds on results from two previous projects: Training Midwives and Deploying Midwives in South Sudan. It supports six national training institutes delivering midwifery and nursing education in South Sudan, where a total of 850 health workers, including 650 midwives, are expected to complete training under the project. Project activities include: (1) developing a new curriculum for nurses and clinical officers; (2) obtaining the equipment required and improving the ability of the faculty members and administrative staff at the training institutes to teach and manage the midwifery and nursing programs; (3) mentoring of students and health care providers by international and national UN volunteer midwives during clinical practice to ensure the application of their skills; (3) training given by doctors working in health facilities to encourage a team approach in the provisions of midwifery and obstetric services; and (4) improving the ability of the Ministry of Health to manage and regulate the education of midwives and the ability of South Sudan's national and state-level Nursing and Midwifery Associations to advocate and promote their professions.
The project is implemented in partnership with the Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM).
