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 contributed in Malaysia with 127 small but socially and economically important projects amounting to approximately RM 14.3 million in total (in Sabah, 29 projects amounting to approximately RM 3.1 million).
