The Afayili community of Mion District in the Northern Region on Friday secured a total of $99,736.00 as grant support to undertake a Community Health Planning Service (CHPS) project under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Proj­ect (GAGHSP).

This project also includes a nurse's accommodation, outdoor toilet facility, set of medical equip­ment and furniture, and a mech­anised borehole.

The GAGHSP is a programme by the Japanese government to help provide financial support to small-scale projects in developing countries to help local govern­ment and non-governmental organisations address basic human needs.

The Ambassador of Japan to Ghana, Mr Yoshimoto Hiroshi, signed the contract on behalf of the government of Japan and the District Coordinating Director, Mr Sobul-Haque, a representative of the beneficiary.
