In the Philippines, GGP was launched in 1989 and as of March 2019, 543 small-scale grassroots projects have been implemented by non-government organizations (NGOs), local government units (LGUs), and other non-profit organizations. They support around 15-20 projects every year. The following sectors and projects are examples that the GGP can assist:
