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.

Support to the Global Fund for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence
7457796 P014126001
This project aims to improve the lives of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) through the Global Fund for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (GSF). It seeks to work with survivors of CRSV globally to enhance and ensure their access to reparations and comprehensive reparative measures addressing their urgent needs. Project activities include: (1) providing grants for civil society organizations to ensure survivors receive interim reparative measures; (2) advocating at the international and national levels for policy, programmatic and legislative development to improve access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence; and (3) providing technical assistance to States and other stakeholders to develop their national reparations programmes.
The project aims to benefit and encourage the participation of women and girls, as they are more likely to experience conflict-related sexual violence. It also seeks participation from men and boys, depending on the context.
