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.

7427058 P009887001
This project aims to support the continuity of pre-primary and primary education for internally displaced girls and boys in the Somali and Oromia regions of Ethiopia. This project addresses gender-based barriers preventing access to education within internally displaced persons’ (IDPs) communities, caregivers and families. This project also aims to improve the provision of gender-responsive, safe and quality education through schools and distance education. Project activities include: (1) providing training to teachers and students on gender and age responsive coronavirus (COVID-19) precaution measures; (2) providing equipment and supplies (for example, personal protective equipment and dignity kits) to schools; (3) establishing and strengthening community-based gender and age responsive girls’ clubs; (4) providing girls and boys with gender and age responsive distance education materials; and (5) providing training to pre-primary children caregivers on supporting reading and math at home.
