The Embassy of Japan announces that Lebanese Sporting Club Association has successfully completed a project for the expansion of vocational center, and started to use it.

The project, funded by the Government of Japan through its “Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Project (GGP)”, aims at improvement of the vocational training in a remote area. The Embassy and the Association have signed the grant contract of US$48,943 on 5 February, 2007 for this aim.

Japan’s GGP supports development projects at grass-roots level proposed by such bodies as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and local governmental authorities in Lebanon. Japan has so far extended through GGP more than US$ 9 million since 1996.
