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 project aims to address barriers that prevent children, particularly girls and nomadic children, from attending school. It focuses on Sudanese states with particularly low rates of school attendance and on states with high nomadic populations. Project activities include: (1) setting up new schools and learning spaces, including provision of gender-sensitive latrines to support girls’ attendance at schools; (2) providing awareness activities to communities to encourage school attendance, particularly for girls; (3) conducting training for teachers and other learning facilitators, and parent-teacher associations, to improve quality of learning and the school system; and (4) supporting schools and learning programs by providing relevant learning materials, including textbooks and dignity kits for older girls to support their attendance in school while menstruating.
