2023/3/7
The Grant Contract (G/C) for Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) was signed between H.E. Mr. SUZUKI Hiroshi, Ambassador of Japan to Bhutan, and H.E. Mr. Vetsop Namgyel, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bhutan, on behalf of their respective Governments on March 7, 2023.
The Government of Japan offers a financial assistance scheme called the “Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GGP)” for development projects designed to meet the diverse, basic human needs of people in developing countries. Since 1989, the scheme has been supporting relatively small-scale projects implemented by non-profit organizations such as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and educational and medical institutions, through Japanese diplomatic missions in developing countries.
The details of the project are as follows:
Grant Name: Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP)
Project Name: “The Project for Provision of Patrol Cars to Community Police Centers in Tashigang and Zhemgang”
Recipient Organization: Royal Bhutan Police
Total amount of the Grant: Approximately 8.98 million Yen
This project will provide two Patrol Cars to Community Police Centers (CPCs) in Tashigang and Zhemgang, which are operated by the Royal Bhutan Police, the recipient organization. The grant amount is approximately 8.98 million Japanese yen. It will contribute to reinforcing the security maintenance in the target areas.
To contain the increasing crime cases, the recipient organization set up police boxes across the country. Further, they are strengthening patrols with the aim of enhancing security activities, especially in remote areas.
On the other hand, the patrol cars owned by Rangjung CPC in Tashigang and Tingtibi CPC in Zhemgang have been aging. It is becoming difficult to drive the cars on unpaved roads and areas with steep slopes, sometimes making it impossible to reach the destination.
Through the provision of two patrol cars equipped with beacon lamps at Rangjung CPC in Tashigang and Tingtibi CPC in Zhemgang through the GGP, the organization will be able to conduct daily patrols and prompt dispatch in case of an emergency. It will contribute to strengthening security in the regions.
The Government of Japan hopes that this new grant project through the GGP scheme will help to reinforce the quality of living and human security of the people in Bhutan and further strengthen the friendship and cooperation between Japan and Bhutan.
