The HKU NGO Empowerment Initiative is a systematic program developed by the HKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research Institute. Designed for NGOs, funders, and sector stakeholders, it provides actionable tools and resources to strengthen organizational transparency, capacity, and impact reporting.

The social sector faces increasing pressure to demonstrate both accountability and tangible impact. In this complex landscape, where NGOs must balance donor requirements with meaningful outcome measurement, persistent gaps remain: inconsistent disclosure standards, uneven access to training, and insufficient empirical analysis of sector-wide trends.

Our program directly addresses these challenges through three interconnected pillars—Training, Transparency, and Research—bridging academic expertise with frontline practice to empower NGOs in amplifying their social impact with greater precision and purpose.
