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.

7404972 P007070001
March 2019 - The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saves lives by quickly getting food to the hungry, and works to help prevent hunger in the future.
In humanitarian emergencies, WFP focuses on providing targeted food assistance to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and to protect livelihoods. As the global lead agency for logistics and emergency telecommunications, WFP also plays a major role in providing common services for the humanitarian community. It transports passengers undertaking humanitarian work, carries light cargo for humanitarian agencies, and carries out emergency medical and security evacuations.
Project activities include: (1) distributing food; (2) supplementary feeding for children under five years of age as well as pregnant and lactating women; (3) emergency school feeding programs; (4) vouchers and cash transfers for food; and (5) food for work. With the support of GAC and other donors, WFP is providing emergency food assistance to more than 90 million people facing famine, malnutrition and severe food insecurity.

Youth Employability: Closing the Gender Gap in Youth Employment in Nicaragua
7398633 P001942001
The project aims to reduce poverty and contribute to closing the gender gap in youth employment by improving the job readiness and employability of 12,000 youth, including 7,200 young women. In Nicaragua, youth aged 15 to 29 are disproportionately affected by unemployment. Young women face additional challenges and are more likely to work informally and under vulnerable conditions.
The project employs a youth-centered model that includes: (1) providing gender sensitive technical and life-skills trainings and raising youth awareness on labour-related issues; (2) providing job search trainings and creating/strengthening networks to increase youth access to job information and/or entrepreneurship opportunities; and (3) increasing youth participation in public space and networks by fostering alliances with the private and public sectors in the search for employment.
As women are under-represented in the labour market and earn significantly less than men (55% of male salaries in urban areas and 24% in rural areas), the project integrates specific actions that address gender-specific barriers in gaining and retaining employment. These actions include among others: gender-sensitive training material and methods, public campaigns and awareness raising sessions for employers, and raising young women’s voices in public space and networks, while engaging men on gender issues.
