Monitoring the performance of ongoing projects and use of fund by grantees In 2023, the CIIF Secretariat inspected and processed the following to monitor the progress and outcomes of projects:
Regarding the submission statistics of the above Project Progress Evaluation Reports, Project Completion Evaluation Reports and Audit Reports, please click here for details. In 2023, the CIIF Secretariat processed monthly payments for reimbursement claims, instalment payments and audit fee claims and disbursed approximately HK$79.61 million with a cumulative total of around HK$785 million. The processing of quarterly reimbursement claims and instalment payments was generally consistent with our performance pledge, i.e. grants were disbursed to grantees within four months after the deadline for submission of reimbursement claims and instalment payments were released to grantees in accordance with the Approved Budget and《Notes to Grantees》.

Following up on the sustainable development of projects after funding period To assess in a more systematic manner whether the funded projects could sustain the social capital built after the funding period, CIIF devised a Questionnaire on "Sustainable Development of Social Capital” in 2013. Since then, CIIF has issued the questionnaire on a regular basis to project teams of completed projects in order to have a better understanding of the sustainable development of their projects six months and 18 months after the funding period. As at 31 December 2023, CIIF had invited staff members and volunteers or direct participants of 237 project teams from completed projects to take part in the survey. Among these 237 project teams, 213 of them had taken part in the survey for the second time. 226 out of 237 project teams had returned completed questionnaires (return rate of 95.4%). Over 90% of the projects (225 projects) were still operating after the funding period in different ways such as deploying internal resources of respective organisations, being continuously supported by local stakeholders/ key collaborators, or being self-run by project participants. |

Consolidating the experience and effective practices of CIIF-funded projects in social capital building For an effective assessment of the social capital outcomes achieved by its projects, CIIF devised a local “Social Capital Scale” in 2012 by making reference to the World Bank’s definition of social capital, the tools used in the second CIIF evaluation study, and the implementation experience of funded projects. After validation of the Scale, direct participants and volunteers of CIIF-funded projects have been invited since July 2013 to fill in the “Social Capital Scale” at least twice during the funding period. All data will be used by CIIF in consolidating the experience and effectiveness of social capital building. As at 31 December 2023, CIIF had received 48 694 questionnaires returned by 275 project teams. |
