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 enhance equitable and inclusive learning outcomes for refugee, internally displaced and host community children and youth, particularly girls and adolescent girls, living in South Sudan and Uganda. The project supports community-based organizations led by refugees and internally-displaced people (IDP) with technical and financial support. Project activities include: (1) facilitating an innovative, self-directed capacity assessment tool for refugee- and IDP-led organizations working on gender-responsive education; (2) designing and delivering training modules and providing technical assistance based on themes identified in assessments and on self-identified institutional gaps; (3) providing core, direct and multi-year small grants to refugee- and IDP-led organizations to help strengthen them and support gender-responsive education programming; (4) training women in refugee- and IDP-led organizations on effective leadership, human rights and peace-building; and (5) facilitating community engagement and dialogues with host communities, state institutions and policy makers on inclusive, gender-responsive education for refugee and internally-displaced children and youth. The project expects to reach an estimated at 132,040 beneficiaries, including 61,400 refugees, internally-displaced persons and host community children and youth.
