The Government of Japan has extended grant assistance totaling RM69,844 to the project for Kg. Tintapon, Sabah, in January 2010. The grant was used for the establishment of gravity-flow water supply system in Kg. Tintapon near Kota Belud town by Adventist Development and Relief Agency Sabah (ADRA Sabah).
The project has been completed recently with the support by the villagers. The hand-over ceremony of the project was held at Kg. Tintapon on October 20, 2010, in the presence of Mr. Kazuyoshi YAMAGUCHI, Consul-General of Japan at Kota Kinabalu (山口 一義 総領事).
The Government of Japan extends financial assistance to the development projects designed to meet the diverse needs of the people in developing countries through the scheme of grant assistance. Known as the Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP), this scheme supports the projects proposed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local governments, hospitals, primary schools and other nonprofit associations. The GGP has acquired an excellent reputation for providing flexible and timely support to development projects at the grass-roots level.
Since 1989, under the GGP, the Government of Japan has extended the assistance in Sabah with 26 small but socially and economically important projects amounting to approximately RM 2.9 million in total. The Government of Japan is always responsive to the good proposals from NGOs and other nonprofit associations to carry out the projects under the GGP.
