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.

The initiative aims to improve the academic performance, leadership and self-determination of high school girls in the remote region of Benishangul-Gumuz in Ethiopia. It helps them develop their academic capacity for higher education. Project activities include: (1) increasing community and familial encouragement of girls' enrollment in formal education; (2) improving academic performance, leadership abilities and autonomy of girls; (3) enhancing regional, zonal and district-level governance, administration and delivery of gender-equitable education for girls; (4) supporting the enhancement of academic, social and soft skills for adolescent girls; (5) strengthening the capacity of teachers and educational institutions to deliver quality and gender-sensitive education; and (6) adopting a holistic and transformative approach to addressing barriers to girls’ higher education, including through community engagement. With the additional COVID-19 funding, the project aims to reach 131,286 students (70,609 young men and 60,677 young women); 3,232 teachers (2,290 men and 942 women); and 235 school administrative officials (150 men; 85 women). The project benefits a total of 673,765 indirect beneficiaries, which include 656,430 students’ parents; 16,160 teachers; and 1,175 school administrative officials.
