District-based Integration Programme
The Programmes aim to help ethnic minorities (EMs) and new arrivals from the Mainland (NAs) better understand Hong Kong, encourage them to participate more in the community and facilitate their early integration into the society. The programmes have been implemented in districts with higher demand for services for EMs and NAs. The programmes for EMs have been implemented in Wan Chai, Kwun Tong, Yau Tsim Mong, Kwai Tsing, Tuen Mun and Yuen Long; while the programmes for NAs have been implemented in Kwun Tong, Wong Tai Sin, Sham Shui Po, Yau Tsim Mong, Kwai Tsing, Yuen Long and Islands District. The District Offices have made good use of their district networks to provide a range of activities for EMs and NAs, including adaption courses, mutual help networks for families and women, employees’ training, volunteer service, talks on themes about family care and health education, and community visits, etc.
