The Government has accepted the advice of the Disaster Relief Fund Advisory Committee and approved a grant of $1 million from the Disaster Relief Fund to the Association of Chinese Evangelical Ministry Ltd for emergency relief to flood victims in Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
The committee hopes the grant will provide relief to flood victims in Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
To ensure that the money will be used for the designated purposes, the committee will ask the Association of Chinese Evangelical Ministry Ltd to submit an evaluation report and audited accounts on the use of the grant after the relief project has been completed.
The Disaster Relief Fund was established in December 1993 for emergency disaster relief in places outside Hong Kong.
It is chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration. Members include Jasper Tsang, Andrew Liao, Sophie Leung, Kwok Ka-ki, Michael Lai, Irving Koo, the Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury and the Secretary for Health, Welfare & Food.
