The Government of Japan extends financial assistance to the development projects 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 project proposed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), hospitals, educational institutions and other non-profit 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 contributed in Malaysia with 133 small but socially and economically important projects amounting to approximately RM 15 million in total (in Sabah, 30 projects amounting to approximately RM 3.2 million). The Government of Japan is always responsive to the good proposals from NGOs and other non-profit associations to carry out the projects under the GGP.
