Accomplishments reported at the Commission on Poverty Summit
The Commission on Poverty (CoP) Summit 2018 was held on 24 March. As in previous summits, there was a session at which each Task Forces under the CoP presented its work progress and achievement. The reporting of SIE Fund was commenced by a video which featured how the Fund collaborated with different sectors to foster the development of the social innovation space whereby innovative solutions delivered social impact and brought hope, dignity and self-worth to the disadvantaged groups. The video was followed by SIE Fund Task Force Chairperson Prof Stephen Cheung recapitulating the Fund's achievement, the most notable of which included having overshot the targets set for the three priority areas of Research, Capacity Building and Innovative Programmes. Prof Cheung then went on to give an introduction of initiatives being explored. To give the attendants a detailed account of the Fund's accomplishments, a set of newly published brochure and infographic leaflet was distributed.
