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 project aims to strengthen and expand grassroots women's movements to promote gender equality and equity across all aspects of life. It will directly engage over 3,000 women in ten provinces in Indonesia: Aceh, South Sumatra, Lampung, Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Central Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi. Additionally, the project will reach more than 20,000 individuals from both state and non-state actors to support women's political agendas for gender justice.
This initiative will serve as a bridge for grassroots women to collaborate with larger women's organizations and movements at local, national, regional, and international levels. It will also connect with individuals, influencers, media, and youth groups to amplify women's voices and agendas, driving changes in socio-economic, political, and cultural policies and practices.
Project activities include: conducting discussions and workshops to develop and revise materials for awareness and capacity building in 12 SP Communities and the National Secretariat, organizing learning circles in 12 SP Communities, implementing a Feminist Leadership School (FLS) in 12 SP Communities and the National Secretariat, conducting Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) within the FLS framework in 12 SP Communities and the National Secretariat.

This project aims to increase human rights privileges enjoyed by women and girls and the advancement of gender equality in Indonesia. This project promotes and develops feminist leadership and women’s political participation across various sectors, notably climate change, natural resources management, and land tenure/ownership rights. This project focuses on strengthening and expanding the feminist movement in Indonesia to promote women’s rights and strengthen the protection of these rights. This project also reinforces networking and alliance building within the Indonesian women’s rights movement and other social movements in the country, including Hivos Southeast Asia, JASS and the PEKKA Foundation. This project improves women’s control over their lives and access to livelihoods and reduces injustices and discrimination against them.
Project activities include: (1) building the capacity of seven selected branches (out of 12) of the project partner working in these seven provinces: Aceh, Central Kalimantan, DKI Jakarta, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara and Yogyakarta; (2) strengthening their operations through training, awareness-raising, research and advocacy in local communities and local government officials; (3) facilitating dialogue and events to raise awareness of local government and other stakeholders, including media, journalists, youth groups and civil society, to advance women’s rights on gender equality and equity; (4) organizing collaborative events with women’s organizations, women leaders and movements from grassroots to national levels; and (5) formulating policy advocacy documents by the national secretariat and partner branches on strengthening the women’s movement and gender equality.
The project works with approximately 3,200 women, including 300 women leaders and 700 marginalized women (including peasant women, fisherwomen, indigenous women and women migrant workers), to strengthen and expand the movement in pushing and promoting women’s rights.
