Japan established the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (original JFPR) in May 2000 to provide grants for projects supporting poverty reduction and related social development activities that can add value to projects financed by ADB. In 2010, the fund expanded its scope of grant assistance to provide technical assistance (TA) grants in addition to project grants.
