The Secretariat of the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) today (November 22) said that a total of 26 projects have been approved under the first round of invitations for 2018/19 Environmental Education and Community Action (EE&CA) Projects with a total grant of around $14 million.

     The EE&CA Projects Funding Scheme provides grants for local non-profit-making organisations to implement projects to raise environmental awareness and knowledge of the public and to motivate behavioural change for environmental conservation. Other than general theme projects, projects on special themes including clean shorelines, climate change and biodiversity were approved. Details of the 26 approved projects are available on the EE&CA Projects website eeca.ecc.org.hk/english/projects/list_detail2018.html.

     The 2019/20 First Round Invitation for EE&CA Projects is tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2019. Interested local non-profit-making organisations may refer to the EE&CA Projects website (eeca.ecc.org.hk/english/index.html) for details nearer the time.
