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.
