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 and Girls’ Labour Rights in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire
7437367 P007858001
This project aims to reduce modern slavery, forced labour and child labour among farmers and workers, especially women and girls, in select districts of Ghana’s palm oil and Cote d’Ivoire’s cocoa producing regions. This project also aims to develop an innovative digital platform to identify and monitor labour rights risks among workers, and to distribute labour rights information to workers, especially women. This digital platform works to empower women and girls with information on their labour rights and to provide a safe and anonymous mechanism by which women and girls and other vulnerable workers can report labour issues such as discrimination, violence, sexual harassment and forced labour.
Project activities include: (1) developing context-specific labour rights content for the digital platform; (2) conducting training and educational campaigns for local partners, communities and work places, on labor rights and how to use the digital platform; (3) providing training to partner organizations on how to leverage the data collected from workers; (4) introducing the data portal to corporate, producer and industry partners; and (5) developing action plans to act on the data collected on a continual basis.
