Abstract
After UNDP introduced the concept of human security in 1994, the Japanese government also participated in introducing the concept in 1995 as the foundation of Japan foreign policy. In the international world, the role of Japan has been regarded as the main contributor to intellectual mainstreaming from the concept and implementation of the concept of human security. One of them is through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) charter in 2003 that offered by the Japanese government to developing countries in Addressing human security issues. Basically, Japanese ODA is given through three types, namely YEN loans, grant assistance and technical cooperation. But this research only focuses on grant assistance with one of its derivatives, namely "Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Project" (GGP).
In the 2017 budget year, the Japanese Government provided grant assistance to 7 projects in Indonesia and one of them was in Sijuk District, Belitung Regency as the focus of this research. The project was initiated by economic security problems because industrial methods that were still traditional had caused instability and unsecured income in coastal communities that had other salted and dried fish industries in Sijuk District, Belitung Regency. Therefore, the Association of Karya Muda Belitung (KMB) took the initiative to addresing this problem by utilizing foreign assistance offered by the Japanese government through the "Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Project" (GGP) program.
