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.

Advancing Gender Equality by Building WEC’s Capacity
NA18726
The old systems can no longer be used effectively and a slow measured transition over the full four years of the project is no longer an option. We must, for example, move quickly to widely used software such as QuickBooks, which means hiring specialists to make the transition now, rather than WEC moving things slowly over time, using internal resources.

Innovative Finance For Ethiopian Women Entrepreneurs (IF WE)
7405546 P002936001
In Ethiopia, despite the economy growing at a rapid pace, women are employed more in the informal sector, have much higher rates of unemployment, and are paid less than men for the same jobs. Taking a feminist approach and building on proven results, this project addresses the social, financial and business challenges that prevent Ethiopian women from obtaining the financial and technical support needed to run successful businesses. The project aims to develop and test the impacts of experimental approaches to women’s economic empowerment.
The project is implemented in five regions across Ethiopia and aims to benefit 25,000 women. The project’s impact is to empower women to have greater influence and leadership in the business sector.

WE'RE Leaders
7404494 P006189001
The project aims to increase political empowerment and enjoyment of rights by women, particularly young women, marginalized groups, and those at risk in Pakistan. Women’s empowerment in civic and political arenas requires that they have the information, tools, material resources, confidence and mobility to be agents of decision-making and action.
Project activities include: (1) providing technical assistance (TA) to national/ provincial Commissions on the Status of Women and Human Rights to plan strategically and operationalize plans for women's rights; (2) conducting workshops for media and civil society about how to promote women’s civil and political rights by portraying women in non-stereotyped roles and as leaders and decision-makers; (3) providing training and TA for women legislators at national/provincial levels on drafting legislative and policy proposals related to increasing women's rights; (4) organizing awareness-raising campaigns to increase women’s registration as voters; (5) providing training for women to contest local elections; and (6) providing training for media and citizens groups on law and best practices that promote gender responsiveness and inclusion.
The project is designed to address institutions and rules as well as individuals and attitudes.
