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.

Empowering Women to Participate in Iraq’s National Reconciliation Process
7377523 P005199001
This project aims to increase access for Iraqi women to decision making processes relating to national reconciliation in liberated areas of Iraq. It seeks to build the capacity of women from Anbar, Ninewah, Kirkuk, and Salahaddin governorates to identify and transform conflict dynamics, solicit women’s priorities on how best to achieve reconciliation, and build cross-community alliances aimed at convincing key decision makers of the importance of strengthening the role of women in reconciliation processes. Project activities include: (1) providing financial management training for civil society organizations; (2) delivering conflict identification and transformation, public policy development, and platform development workshops for women activists; (3) conducting outreach activities and community meetings to seek input on local priorities; (4) facilitating meetings for women activists with national-level decision makers; and (5) developing a reconciliation toolkit for use in future advocacy campaigns.
