Community Development Councils’ Financial Assistance Schemes

Response to parliamentary question on the number of applications received under Community Development Councils’ Financial Assistance Schemes, and the average processing time for these schemes

10 March 2022

The number of beneficiaries helped by Community Development Councils (CDCs) has been increasing over the last five years. Over the last five years, the CDCs helped on average around 167,500 applications with financial assistance. On average, the processing for each case takes about two to three weeks, though cases for which urgent assistance are needed would have been expedited. The assistance provided in terms of cash quanta would be unique to the contextual factors in each case.
