Environment and Conservation Fund Application and Management System (Smart ECF) Tutorial Session(s) for Online Application Submission (Updated)
The Environment and Conservation Fund Application and Management system (i.e. Smart ECF) managed by the Secretariat of the Environment and Conservation Fund Committee (the Secretariat) has launched its first phase in 2024 for eligible organisations who are interested in applying the ECF to register accounts. The online application of Smart ECF will be launched for different funding schemes in phases for the person-in-charge (i.e. Head or Deputy Head of the organisation) who has successfully registered a Smart ECF account to submit online applications during the invitation period. The Secretariat has earlier invited the interested person-in-charges and the representatives of their local non-profit making organisations (e.g. community bodies, green groups, schools and tertiary institutions, etc.) to join the captioned tutorial session(s) and conduct a trial on submitting online applications through Smart ECF, in order to get familiarised with the operation and process.
The tutorial session(s) were conducted face-to-face as detailed below:
