Social Impact Assessment Case Workshop Series

Introduction

Since 2010, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service embarked on a new initiative to explore how social impact assessment (SIA) of service projects or programme could be promoted in the Third Sector in Hong Kong. In collaboration with project donors and organizers, HKCSS has attempted a number of SIAs to articulate the social impacts of service projects. As a result of these attempts, a framework and a methodology for SIA are emerging.
