On 26 January 2022, Ambassador Harada signed Grant Contract with Mr. Nahasson Mbangura, Principal of St. Barnabas Primary School, Katutura East Constituency worth NAD 955,072 at the Embassy of Japan in Windhoek. The signing ceremony was witnessed by Mr. Daniel Sisamu, project coordinator of the school.
The Grant Contract in the framework of Grant Assistance for Grassroots and Human Security Projects (GGP) was signed to help build new classrooms and a library to alleviate teaching and learning environment for grade 0 learners and learners with special needs, as well as to provide a library to benefit entire school population.
The Government of Japan has introduced GGP in Namibia since 1997. GGP aims at achieving direct and immediate impact on the well-being of disadvantaged communities at a grassroots level by supporting relatively small development projects in areas such as education, agriculture and health, to be implemented by non-profit organisations and local authorities.
By the end of 2021, 59 schools have been granted GGP for the construction of school classroom blocks.
