In 1989, the Government of Japan introduced Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) in order to respond to the diverse development needs in developing countries. The aim of GGP is to provide financial assistance to non-profit development organizations for implementing projects at community level.
Since the introduction of this project to Malawi in 1995, close to 120 projects have already been supported. Under this program, important social facilities including schools, health centres, boreholes, or training facilities have been introduced to local communities.
