The Government of Japan has decided to extend a grant of twenty-three thousand eight hundred and seventy US dollars (US$ 23,870) to the Jordanian Association for Family Planning and Protection (JAFPP) for provision of medical equipment under the scheme called Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP).

A Grant Contract was signed by Mr. NETSU Shuntaro, Chargés d'affaires at the Japanese Embassy in Amman and Dr. Abed Mansi, Chairman of Board of Directors of JAFPP, during the ceremony on 18th October 2022.

This grant assistance aims to enhance the reproductive health and family planning services of JAFPP by providing a new ultrasound machine and autoclave. Since 1989, JAFPP has been working on improvement of maternal and child health in Jordan by providing necessary services such as gynaecological examination, prenatal diagnosis, early detection of breast and cervical cancer and family planning counseling. According to what was stated by chargés d'affaires NETSU at the signing ceremony, this project is expected to enable JAFPP to provide more accurate and speedy ultrasound diagnosis, which contributes to improving maternal and child health.
