Assistance for Cultural Grassroots Project
Many developing countries are making conscious efforts
toward nation-building not only in the area of socio-economy
but also in the area of cultural activities and education.
The Cultural Grant Aid scheme was introduced in 1975
as part of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) of
Japan. The equipment provided for developing countries
under this scheme is playing an important role in the
preservation of cultural articles and cultural heritage,
the implementation of various projects at theaters, museums,
etc. and the promotion of education and research activities.
