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.

This grant represents Canada's support to the Junior Professional Officers (JPO) Programme of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). It is part of a larger contribution to the UN JPO Programme, which supports staffing of up to 15 JPO positions with young Canadian professionals in seven United Nations organizations (UNDP, UNFPA, WHO, UN Women, UNICEF, WFP and UNHCR).
UNICEF uses these funds to recruit and assign up to two young Canadians to JPO positions, allowing them to gain field-based professional experience in international development and help support the organization's mandate towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF advocates for protecting children's rights to help meet their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential, including in emergency situations. UNICEF also works to ensure the protection of children from violence and abuse.
