The Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) Project was launched in November 2014 as a collaborative initiative, which has evolved over the past three years. It was envisaged that a meta-synthesis of the review findings conducted midway through the project would help drawing evidence-based lessons emerging over the course of its implementation, and tracking how the Project was taking shape.
We are currently recruiting a consultant / consultancy team to conduct the mid-term review (i.e. meta-synthesis of review findings) for the HKJCDPRI. Successful applicant is expected to deliver a Review Report by end of April 2018.
