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.

The project aims to increase the contributions by Athabaskan People in international Arctic research, discussions and events and increase consideration of Athabaskan People and interests in international decision-making by strengthening the ability of Athabaskan Peoples to engage in International Arctic Research discussions and events; increasing the capacity of AAC to do research; enhancing the engagement by AAC in Arctic Council Working Groups and other fora; and increasing commitment by stakeholders in Arctic fora to reflect interests of Athabaskan Peoples in votes and declarations. To do so, the project builds internal capacity for growth and progress; establishes an Elders Advisory Circle and Youth Advisory; implements a new outreach and communications strategy; and carries out Indigenous-led research, collaboration and diplomacy in fora including the Arctic Council’s Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response Working Group, the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group, and the Arctic Risk Management Network.

This project seeks to improve the health and resilience of vulnerable households, particularly women and girls, in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Project activities include: (1) Providing training to women Community Health Facilitators (CHF’s) to deliver gender-sensitive, primary health services; (2) delivering modular rights-based, gender-sensitive basic health education through multiple touchpoints to community members (via loan meetings, workshops, community events and household outreach); and (3) equipping CHF ’s and health supervisors to respond to critical health issues relevant to target communities (i.e. increased communication about dengue outbreaks, etc.) via face-to-face and digital information sharing. This project expects to reach and positively impact at least 6.4 million direct beneficiaries, encompassing 1.5 million people in Bangladesh, 3.2 million in India and 1.7 million in Nepal. Also, the project aims to reach over 1 million indirect beneficiaries, bringing its total reach to 7.4 million direct and indirect beneficiaries. Beneficiaries include youth and adolescents (aged 15 to 19 years), poor households, and men and boys, recognizing the importance of engaging men that support women’s and family health.
