All along, the Social Welfare Department and the non-governmental organizations have been providing different welfare services to needy individuals/families to enable them to prevent and deal with the problems they encountered. Besides, some non-governmental organizations and community organizations also provide different types of in-kind assistance to help the needy to tide over their difficulties. A list of the organizations providing in-kind assistance (Chinese only) is attached below for general reference.

In June 2004, SWD invited NGOs to send in proposals for the second batch of IEAPs and we are pleased to have received 74 proposals from 39 NGOs. The Project Vetting Committee, comprising the Deputy Director of SWD as the chairperson and members from the other Government Department and the HKJCCT, had selected 30 projects to be launched in 11 SWD Districts from October 2004 to September 2007.

During the three-year implementation period, each IEAP Operating Agency will provide at least 100 participants per year with tailor-made employment assistance such as workshops, employment counselling, job matching and post-placement support services to help enhance their employability and ability to sustain employment. To help prevent ‘near-CSSA’ recipients from falling into the CSSA net, Operating Agencies will also provide temporary financial aid to needy participants to tide them over temporary financial hardship and meet short-term basic needs in addition to assisting them to find employment.
