This biennial award was given by the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF) (under Youth and Home Affairs Bureau), in recognition of our contribution to the development of social capital in Hong Kong.

 

The assessment criteria involve six core social capital dimensions: 1) Social Networks, 2) Social Participation, 3)Information and Communication, 4) Trust and Solidarity, 5) Mutual-help and Reciprocity, and 6) Social Cohesion and Inclusion.

 

Social capital allows a society or organization, such as a corporation or a nonprofit, to function together as a whole through trust and shared identity, norms, values and mutual relationships.
