The Countryside Conservation Funding Scheme (CCFS) has approved a total of seven projects involving a total grant of around $40 million in the latest round of application. Details of the seven approved projects are available here.
To encourage more promising CCFS projects to be carried out in the countryside, the Environmental Protection Department will introduce enhancement measures, include increasing the number of application assessment to three rounds every year on need basis, increasing the funding cap for three specific types of projects (Formulation of Proposals on Restoration of Built Heritage (BH), Cultural Rehabilitation/Revitalisation (CR) Projects and Research Activities (RA) on Countryside Conservation and Revitalisation) from $2 million to $3 million, and considering the staff cost ratio in the budget for BH, CR and RA based on the merits of individual application. Details of the enhancement measures are available in the Guide to Application (Version 1.3, Feb 2021).
Applications for the CCFS are accepted all-year-round. Details of the next round of application will be announced in this webpage on 26 February 2021.
