In principal, the grant amount is not more than 10 million yen (approximately 2.9 million THB) per project; however, a maximum of 100 million yen will be considered for projects which strongly reflect human security aspects.
The grant amount will be transferred to the approved projects in two tranches, depending on the characteristics of the project and at the Embassy’s discretion.

Focal Areas of Assistance

GGP mainly targets areas that aim to improve Basic Human Needs (BHN) such as projects that are highly beneficial at the grass-roots level and those that require timely support on humanitarian grounds. Typical projects include improvement of the basic education facilities, improvement of fundamental medical equipment for hospitals. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) or BOP (Base of the Pyramid) projects in collaboration with Japanese companies can be supported by GGP.
In addition to the activities described above, GGP addresses a variety of local needs in a flexible manner.
