    On November 9, 2023, Ambassador H.E. Mr. IWAMA Kiminori visited Habiganj to attend the inauguration ceremony of the “The Project for Construction of a Community Skill Development Center in Habiganj District” provided to the NGO “Community Initiative Society (CIS)” by the Government of Japan through the Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGHSP).
 
   The project is expected to provide vocational training for more than 1,000 vulnerable young people by constructing a 2-storied Community Skill Development Center.
 
   “I hope this center will enable vulnerable people to receive the necessary skills for employment, generate a source of income, and reduce their social and economic vulnerabilities.”, said Ambassador IWAMA.
 
   Japan has supported 213 NGO projects through its Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects (GGHSP) since 1989 with a view to enhancing economic and social human security at the grassroots levels. The total sum of these GGHSP grants extended to NGOs in Bangladesh to date amounts approximately to $16.85 million.
