Background and Objectives
	We Can, We Care, Together We Create
	The word ¡§Net¡¨ means that the development of social capital pivots on a close network and mutual trust. Mr Matthew Cheung, GBS, JP Secretary for Labour and Welfare
	Social Capital.Net (SC.Net), established in November 2008, is a multi-functional knowledge base and development platform. By engaging a group of enthusiastic persons to become SC.Net members, the SC.net will consolidate local practical experience on social capital for its better development. To achieve this goal, we must have four key elements:   One vision, one belief Work together to create social capital Two persons, greater effect„P Two persons play the synergistic effect of "1+1>2" Over a hundred SC.Net members achieve even higher synergy Three minds pool wisdom Achieving knowledge transfer on the basis of consolidated experience and mutual learning Four good qualities, light up communities Commitment, devotion, companionship and self-enhancement
	With the cross-sectoral collaboration between the community, business sector and the Government, SC.Net is formally launched to build up social capital together.
Mission and Functions
	With the mission of promoting social capital, SC.Net members aim to further extend the impact of social capital by leveraging on their respective expertise, experience and networks, and bring social capital into fuller play in various sectors and their respective areas. As a result, the public can better know and recognise the concepts of social capital and then actively take part in building up social capital and promoting social development. The CIIF expects that there will be SC.Net members in every community in the near future, who will spread the benefits of social capital over the territory.   Three Key Platforms of SC.Net: Interactive platform for knowledge exchange Enabling academics and persons across sectors to share their expertise and explore the theories and approaches of social capital „P Co-operation platform for cross-sectoral collaboration Promoting cross-sectoral collaboration, reinforcing and enhancing synergy as well as achieving extraordinary benefits „P Innovative Platform Bouncing off ideas of persons across sectors so that they will actively introduce new strategies and flagship projects for social capital development A group photo featuring the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, CIIF Members, newly appointed SC.Net members, winners of CIIF Achievement Awards at the Sixth CIIF Forum

SC.Net Buddy for You
	¡¥SC.Net Buddy for You¡¦ is a matching scheme for CIIF project teams. With strong sense of mission as well as expertise, experience and networks in various sectors, SC.Net members are ready to share their expertise and experience with and render assistance to project teams, with a view to adding value to CIIF projects.

SC.Net Planning and Development Task Force
	To pool the wisdom of various sectors and leverage on their strengths, resources and networks in a more strategic way, we invited SC.Net members from seven sectors to form the SC.Net Planning and Development Task Force (SC.Net Task Force) with CIIF members, which is responsible for the planning of SC.Net development strategy and also actively gears towards the promotion and development of the CIIF. The representatives from seven sectors will also spearhead the promotion of social capital in their respective sectors.
