ICAC invites applications for funding to promote clean culture
2005-3-19
Community groups are invited to apply to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for funds to organise community projects that promote a culture of probity under its Community Involvement Programme (CIP).
An ICAC spokesman said: "Launched since 1988, the CIP aims to encourage community bodies to organise various types of activities to spread anti-corruption messages and to promote the values of integrity and fairness."
A total of $150,000 is earmarked for the CIP in the 2005/06 fiscal year, with the funding for each project being capped at $5,000.
All applications will be vetted by the Mass Media and Education Sub-Committee of the ICAC's Citizen's Advisory Committee on Community Relations.
"Apart from granting funds, the ICAC can offer assistance for the approved projects, for example, in providing audio-visual facilities, exhibition boards and other corruption prevention publications if necessary," the spokesman added.
Proposed projects could be organised in the form of workshops, exhibitions, seminars, competitions, carnivals and leadership training programmes.
The deadline for application is April 30, 2005 (Saturday).
Interested bodies can obtain application forms and related information from the ICAC's regional offices or call 2158 5903 from 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays for enquiries.
