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.

Kenya Education for Employment Program
5007062204 D002174001 P001118001
The initiative supports technical vocational education and training (TVET) reform in Kenya, helping create a strong, demand-driven and industry-responsive training system in growing industries. Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is seeking to bridge the current skills gap in Kenya's demand-driven sectors by improving the quality and relevance of curricula, the technical skills, and knowledge of lecturers as well as improving the country's overall training infrastructure. This initiative helps Kenyans, especially youth, take advantage of increased employment opportunities in growing industries such as the agriculture and energy sectors, particularly among marginalized populations in the northern, drought-prone areas, which are some of the poorest regions of the country.
Activities include: (1) Developing industry-responsive and gender-sensitive competency-based training curricula; (2) Providing training delivered by experts from Canadian technical training institutions specializing in extractives and related sectors to 200 technical instructors, including through the use of instructional technology; (3) Providing and install training equipment for Kenyan partner technical training institutions for the delivery of competency-based training; (4) Delivering leadership and management training by experts from Canadian technical training institutions to 100 administrators and governors at Kenyan partner technical training institutions; (5) Organizing workshops to engage 500 private and public sector TVET stakeholders in the implementation of TVET reform and to share best practices; and (6) Launching outreach and public awareness campaigns to promote skills training programs within local communities, directly benefitting 2080 instructors, administrators and governors, private and public sector TVET stakeholders and students.

Sustainable Economic Development Through Renewable Energy in Jordan
5007062399 P001199001 & P001199002
P001199001 & P001199002: This project aims to improve the livelihoods of 150,000 women, men and their families in poor communities of the Ajloun and Jordan Valley (Deir Alla) regions through the introduction of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions at the household level. The project seeks to improve skills and employment prospects, particularly for women and youth, in Jordan’s renewable energy sector and to strengthen the enabling environment for accelerated growth of this sector. Project activities include: (1) launch an awareness campaign targeting 25,000 people to raise awareness of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions; (2) strengthen women’s organisations and community-based organisations in the management of renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives and revenue generating activities; (3) procure and install 22,800 renewable energy and energy efficiency units including PV panels, water solar heaters and energy saving lights; (4) improve the capacities of Jordan’s Vocational Training Corporation to deliver training in renewable energy and energy efficiency; (5) develop the management capacities of national partners for improved management and regulation of the sector; and (6) establish commercial models of renewable energy regulations following international best practices. The project is implemented in partnership with the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
