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, primary schools, vocational training Centre 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 1996, under the GGP, the Government of Japan has extended the assistance in Sabah with 30 small-scale but socially and economically important projects amounting to approximately RM 3.2 million in total.

The Government of Japan is always responsive to good proposals from NGOs and other nonprofit associations to carry out the GGP projects. For further information, please contact Mr.Kenro TAKAHASHI at Consular Office of Japan at Kota Kinabalu.
