Japan revives grant programme for locals

FOLLOWING a move that began in 1989, the Japanese government is inviting applications nationwide for its Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) after a 15-year hiatus.

The grant, which can go up to RM330,000 per project, is open to non-governmental organisations, local authorities, educational institutions, hospitals and medical institutions.
