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 organizations (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.
