The Government has approved a grant of $1 million from the Disaster Relief Fund to the Association of Chinese Evangelical Ministry for emergency relief to earthquake victims in Jiangxi Province.
To ensure the money is used for the designated purposes, the committee will ask the association to submit an evaluation report and audited accounts on the grant's use after the relief project has been completed.
The Disaster Relief Fund was established in December, 1993, for emergency help in places outside Hong Kong.
The Disaster Relief Fund Advisory Committee is responsible for advising the Government on the policy and practices regarding the disbursement of funds for disaster relief, advising on specific amounts to specific recipients, and monitoring the use of grants.
