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.

P002846001: Helping Women and Girls Realize their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in South Africa
P002846002: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in South Africa - Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19)
7410521 D004718001 P002846001 P002846002
P002846001: The project addresses discriminatory social norms that perpetuate sexual and gender-based violence and prevent women and girls to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in some of the most marginalized districts of South Africa. It works with communities, including men and boys, and adolescent girls and young women aged 15-24, parents as well as youth and women networks to promote women and girls’ human rights, SRHR, and in preventing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The project also strives to foster multi-sectoral collaboration across institutions (health, social services, justice, police, education), to strengthen institutional capacity and evidence-based decision-making to increase the availability of quality SRHR and SGBV services (information, counselling and prevention) that respond to the needs of women and girls, free from bias and discrimination.
Project activities include: (1) training health workers (doctors, nurses, managers and community health workers) in the targeted districts’ health facilities on proven integrated delivery models of SHRH, SGBV and HIV services that respond to the needs of women and young girls and are free of bias and discrimination; (2) training social service professionals and community health workers on integrated SGBV case management, including referral pathways, and field testing and documentation of results in selected locations in the targeted districts; (3) improving data systems and enhancing disaggregation of data (by sex, age, disability, ethnicity, etc.) to better target SRHR policy and programming; (4) training community networks that engage with men, boys, parents and caregivers, and young girls to run advocacy campaigns with government to invest in quality SRHR and SGBV services free from bias and discrimination and prevent and respond to SGBV.
It is expected the project directly reaches 300,000 adolescents girls and young women (aged between 15 and 24) and further indirectly reaches 1,5 million beneficiaries.
