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.

7464642 P014782001
This project aims to strengthen the protection and promotion of the right to health of LGBTI+ persons and improve access to quality comprehensive health services in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a specific focus in Colombia and Panama. It will cover four areas: 1) research to gather evidence on the specific health needs of LGBTI+ individuals; 2) the representation of LGBTI+ individuals and organizations in the health sector; 3) the availability and quality of health services and resources for these individuals; 4) the capacity of civil society organizations to advocate for LGBTI+ rights. PAHO will provide technical cooperation to Colombia and Panama to strengthen the protection and promotion of the right to health of LGBT+ people and improve access to quality comprehensive rights-based people-centered health services at national and subnational levels. Additional countries and regional entities will also be supported through learning exchanges and actions that strengthen health and rights promotion efforts.
