Japan is poised to provide over US$3M (US$3,104,236) in grant aid to Guyana for two separate dispensations, which will be consecutively signed during ceremonies on March the 3rd and 4th 2014 respectively.
The first grant includes a Non-Project Grant Aid for the promotion of the economic and social development of Guyana and is valued at approximately US$3 million.
The Non-project Grant Aid will be utilized for the importation of products; for example, civil engineering equipment and electric power machinery, which are necessary to promote development efforts by the Government of Guyana.
While the second grant will be for the assistance of the Grassroots Human Security Project (GGP) in which a grant of US$104,236 will be given to the New Amsterdam Special Need for Life Foundation from the Government of Japan for the construction of a sign language school, which will be used for the community of the hearing-impaired in Guyana.
The signing ceremonies for Japan’s Non-Project Grant Aid to Guyana will take place at 9:00 a.m. on March 3, 2014, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guyana and for the Grant Assistance for the Grass-roots Human Security Project (GGP) entitled “The Project for Constructing the Sign Language School in Region 6” will take place at 11:00 a.m. on March 4, 2014, at the Little Rock Suites, New Amsterdam, Guyana.
Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Guyana, Yoshimasa Tezuka, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, will be in attendance to sign the Exchange of Notes for the first grant. Japan’s Ambassador to Guyana Tezuka, the Principal of Special Need for Life Mark Adams, along with Region Six Chairman, Armogan will be in attendance for the second grant ceremony.
According to statements coming from the Embassy of Japan in Trinidad and Tobago, “the Government of Japan welcomes further opportunities to work with the Government and the people of the Republic of Guyana, all with a view to strengthening the bonds of friendship and mutual understanding which exist between the two countries, especially as we celebrate Japan-CARICOM Friendship Year 2014 which marks 20 years since the first Japan-CARICOM Consultation in 1993.”
