Description
1) Objective
The Embassy of Japan in Egypt offers a financial assistance program for development projects designed to meet the diverse social needs of this country. Known as “Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GAGP)”, this program supports projects proposed by various bodies such as non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The GAGP program has acquired an excellent reputation because it provides flexible and timely support for development projects at the grassroots level. Since the introduction of this program in Egypt in 1994, several projects have already been provided with this type of assistance. Under the program, important social services and facilities have been provided, such as classrooms for illiterate mothers, necessary equipment for centers for orphan girls and so on.
As long as a development project is geared towards grassroots assistance with respect to Basic Human Needs and Human Security, it can be eligible for financing under the GAGP program. However, particular attentions are given to projects engaged in areas as follows:
- The most needing sectors: Income Generation, Vocational Training, Basic Education, and Support for the people crossing to Egypt from Libya by the outbreak of violence in Libya.
- Basic Human Needs Sectors: Public Welfare, Primary Health Care, Water and Environment, Agriculture, etc.
2) Eligibility
Support is provided to non-profit and non-governmental organisations implementing development projects at the grassroots level in Egypt (NGO, Local public entity, Educational or Medical institutions).
3) Location
Actions must be implemented in Egypt.
4) Budget
The maximum amount per project is 10 million yen (approximately equivalent to US$110,000). The project duration is one year.
5) Application
A completed GAGP application form and three different suppliers’/contractors cost estimates are to be submitted to the Embassy of Japan in Cairo. All information and other documents should be submitted in English or in Arabic with an English translation.
