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 project aims to expand the basic literacy, numeracy and skills development of 3,000 vulnerable, out-of-school adolescent girls, including adolescent mothers and those with disabilities or HIV/AIDS, in six districts of the Manica and Sofala provinces of Mozambique. Project activities include: (1) providing adolescent girls access to accelerated literacy and numeracy classes that are age, gender and disability appropriate, to attain basic reading and writing skills; (2) supporting the development of business and life skills for income-generating opportunities and gain community and political support for their education and economic empowerment; (3) expanding the economic empowerment of these adolescent girls and improving their capacity to protect themselves from sexual and gender-based violence. The project addresses critical barriers to their education by providing them with informal education to gain business, financial, life, literacy and numeracy skills, while supporting their increased self-esteem,
