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.

No to Gender-Based Violence in Sri Lanka
7414205 P005877001
This project aims to combat sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and promote gender equality in the Batticaloa, Hambantota and Kilinochchi districts of Sri Lanka. This project works to strengthen women's groups and youth groups, to help their members prevent SGBV, support victims, and extend their outreach and impact to others in their district. This project also aims to harness the imagination and energy of youth to find their own innovative ways of combating SGBV and promoting gender equality, through messages delivered by means of the arts, and social media campaigns. Project activities include: (1) providing values-changing training in SGBV and organizational management to local women’s groups and youth groups; (2) supporting youth developed anti-SGBV arts and social media messaging; and (3) providing training to village, divisional and district level government to enhance the cooperation between civil society and local government.
