To align with the development directions of CIIF and support the operational needs of the CIIF Committee, the CIIF Secretariat was divided into two major sub-teams, namely "Project Management" and "Strategic Development".

In 2004-2006 and 2010-2012, several universities in Hong Kong were commissioned to conduct two independent evaluation studies on CIIF’s overall effectiveness in social capital development.
