In response to popular requests, the CIIF Sub-Committee on Evaluation and
Development of Social Capital has recommended the establishment of a
"Social Capital Resource Directory". This has now been
established, please click the links to visit the following sites.
This directory will serve
as the repository of our collective learning. We have started
by small, by including a small number of known references
in our first attempt to set up this directory. It is expected
that both the content and linkages of this CIIF Social Capital
Resource Directory will grow over time as local as well as
overseas experience accumulates. Any suggestions to enhance
and enrich the content of this directory will be gratefully
received by the CIIF Secretariat. Please
contact the CIIF Secretariat with your information or
suggestions. We welcome your feedback.
The related links contained in this
Directory are for reference only. The CIIF Secretariat does
not accept responsibility for the contents.
