The Government of Japan, under its Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP) Scheme, has extended the assistance totaling US $ 220, 439 for two humanitarian assistance programs.
The hand-over and opening ceremonies of the monastic primary school building in Mon State and the road and the bridge in Kayin State were held at each location on 5 March 2014 respectively.
The monastic school project will benefit over 300 students, who were studying under insufficient environment in old religious buildings. Under such circumstances, the Government of Japan provided funding for one school building including toilets and necessary furniture at the school.
The road and the bridge between Shwe Taw and Kaw Lone Sein Villages will benefit about 8,600 populations who were facing difficulties in socio-economic situation due to the bad conditions of roads and bridges.
Japan has conducted 669 various grass-roots projects in Myanmar under this GGP scheme since 1993. Among them, 301 education projects, 170 health care projects, 133 public welfare and environment projects, 30 infrastructure projects and 35 other projects are included.
It is expected that these assistance will further strengthen existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar.
