About
Introduction
The HKU-UBS Sustainable and Social Innovation Leadership Programme (SSILP) is co-led by the Department of Social Work and Social Administration, University of Hong Kong and investment bank UBS.
Background
NGOs play a prominent role in developing society, improving communities and promoting the well-being of all. Leaders in NGOs are the key drivers who direct, shape, strategise, and energise the team to achieve these organisations’ missions. However, in Hong Kong, with the recent retirement tide of the baby-boomer generation and the increase in immigration of middle-age professionals to other countries, many local NGOs face challenges of a succession plan and have to appoint relatively green leaders.
In view of the situation, there is a timely need to nurture this new or future generation of NGO leaders to maintain the effective functioning of the NGOs, which will benefit society as a whole eventually. Hence the HKU-UBS Sustainable and Social Innovation Leadership Programme was preliminarily launched in 2022.
Mission & Vision
The overall missions of HKU-UBS (SSILP) are:
1. Build capacity and competence of NPO current and future leaders
2. Develop network and collaborations among NPOs, Philanthropies, Public Sector and Academics
3. Incubate and innovate new projects that are sustainable.
We envision to bring influence to the nurturing of emerging talents in the non-profit sector not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Greater Bay Area in the future as we gradually expand our programme in the coming years.
