CIIF Evaluation Study

The Second Evaluation Study

The Bureau commissioned independent consultants to conduct the second evaluation study of the CIIF's overall outcomes in social capital development, which commenced since October 2010. The Second Evaluation Study was completed in September 2012. The findings affirmed the strategies promoted by CIIF in achieving social capital outcomes, including fostering mutual trust and acceptance among people from different backgrounds, building neighbourhood support networks, turning assets of individuals into those of the community, and enhancing community capacity. The Bureau had in collaboration with the Committee to set the CIIF’s future direction and define the scale of operation based on the recommendations of the evaluation studies.
