The Children Health Concern Society (CHCS/ CVCG, now The Health Concern Society, HCS) was formed in November 2007 with the aim of promoting the health of children in Hong Kong through the improvement of the Childhood Immunisation Programme (“CIP”). AWTC was appointed to be its consultant to carry out the advocacy campaign.

In view of the Scientific Committee’s recommendation and sustained advocacy and publicity efforts by CHCS/ CVCG (now CHS) to advocate a boarder coverage of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV), the Chief Executive announced his Policy Address to include the PCV in the Childhood Immunisation Programme (CIP) in 2008. In 2012, the Centre of Health Protection (CHP) announced that the government will adopt PCV13 into the CIP.

In March 2015, The CHP launched a one-off measure to allow eligible elderly people to be vaccinated with the remaining stock of PCV13 of the "Childhood PCV13 Booster Vaccination Programme".

In July 2016, the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases updated recommendations on the use of pneumococcal vaccines for high-risk Individuals. Individuals with high risk conditions who have not received any pneumococcal vaccines should receive one dose of PCV13 followed by one dose of 23vPPV one year after the previous PCV13.

The way forward in the advocacy campaign on pneumococcal vaccination would be for a NIP for all aged 50 and above.

Aiming at improving the quality of life of the thalassaemia suffering children, a team of medical doctors, patients’ parents and carers, enthusiastic persons from the public established the Children’s Thalassaemia Foundation in 1993.

In the past, thalassaemia patients had to undergo blood transfusions every four months and injections of deferral to remove excess iron from their bodies. The treatment left patients suffering a poor quality of life. In 2010, AWTC has been appointed to work with TAHK to communicate with the healthcare authority and advocate to re-categorize the oral iron chelator, Exjade, as a first line drug. It greatly enhanced the patients’ quality of life.

Throughout the advocacy campaign, different stakeholders, namely the TAHK, paediatric doctors, legislators and medical KOLs were engaged.

In the 2011-12 Budget, a funding of $10 million had been allocated for thalassaemia patients under six years of age.

The HKGBC Building Energy Performance Recognition Scheme was a series of web-based tools for benchmarking operating energy use in different types of commercial buildings in Hong Kong.

The project was rolled out in various phases, first providing an online benchmarking tool for office occupants in multi-tenancy office buildings, which HKGBC launched it on 1 November 2013. A complete set of tools for whole commercial buildings of office and retail use were developed afterwards.

A Rating, Labelling & Certification Scheme will be incorporated to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is home to a broad diversity of coastal habitats but our marine ecosystem is facing a barrage of threats. Currently, only 2% of Hong Kong’s water is designated as Marine Protected Areas versus about 40% of land areas are country parks. Committed to the Convention on Biodiversity’s Aichi Target, WWF has been asking for designation of at least 10% of Hong Kong water as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by 2020.

Establishment of MPAs is always not easy. Apart from the scientific evidence of their ecological importance, support from stakeholders and the communities is essential. In 2018, WWF has conducted a public engagement exercise in two phases to collect stakeholders’ views and concerns on conservation measures to be proposed in these hotspots. Eight engagement meetings were conducted in four districts, covering hundreds of stakeholders including rural residents, village representatives, district councilors, local green groups, hikers and ecotour operators, community centers and groups, professional and academic experts in marine, diving groups and water sports associations etc.

The Government embarked on a comprehensive review of the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (the Ordinance) at the end of 2008. AWTC was commissioned to provide consultancy and research services for the public consultation exercise.

The first of two planned rounds of public consultation were conducted from 3 October 2008 to 31 January 2009. AWTC provided total project management, including offered strategic and tactical public and media relations advice and assisted in holding many focus groups and town hall meetings, advised the conduct of a public opinion survey, advised the construction of a thematic website for the review with a dedicated online discussion forum, analysed over 20,000 written submissions via mail, fax and email and produced a final report capturing all the views presented throughout the exercise.

This first round consultation confirmed general support for retaining the COIAO regulatory regime, strengthening publicity and public education programmes and imposition of heavier penalties for breaches to enhance the deterrent effect of the Ordinance.
