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 supports the protection of rights of Afghan women and girls from gender-based violence. It strengthens Afghan civil society organizations to coordinate, advocate, protect and promote the rights and empowerment of women and girls. Programming includes economic empowerment of women activities aimed at expanding livelihood opportunities. The initiative aims to address both urgent and long-term needs of gender-based violence (GBV), through strengthening resilience and promoting a more supportive society. The capacity to engage and better support the rights of women is enhanced for members of Afghan civil society organizations, protection providers, religious leaders and women entrepreneurs, and relevant linkages are facilitated between civil society, policy makers and government actors.
The project reach is approximately 13,000 direct beneficiaries and up to 627,000 indirect beneficiaries (including women and girls, men and boys in targeted provinces). Direct beneficiaries include teachers and schoolchildren, religious leaders, female entrepreneurs and protection providers.
