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.

This initiative aims to promote gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s rights in Cuba. The Project would design and reproduce various communication documents that bring to light gender equality issues in Cuba. The outputs would be directed at gender activists, promoters and experts to be distributed in various events that are planned from February 2019 to July 2019. The project would also produce a systematization guide, including lessons learned from the project, which would help strengthen the capacity of local organizations to work together in the area of gender equality in the future, particularly to advance and position the women's rights public agenda in Cuba.
