According to Yuan Ruijun, Executive Director <strong>of</strong> CCSS, the program funded by the<br />

Sunshine Cultural Foundation is a 3-year program, which is supposed to carry out<br />

investigations among NGO leaders and provide free trainings to solve practical<br />

problems they might meet in their cause.<br />

Such kind <strong>of</strong> programs would not only benefit relevant academic researches at <strong>PKU</strong>,<br />

but also have a great significance in advancing the development <strong>of</strong> the NGO cause<br />

itself, said <strong>PKU</strong> President Xu Zhihong.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> had in inter-disciplinary researches was what contemporary NGO development<br />

relied on. The program cooperated by the two well-known universities would not only<br />

help to improve the executive abilities <strong>of</strong> NGO leaders, but also show the NGO<br />

development in China to the world.<br />

Allegedly, a high-ranking training class on the NGO development was held by CCSS<br />

and the Hauser Centre this January, with the support from the Sunshine Cultural<br />

Foundation. More than 50 representatives from NGO organizations at home and<br />

abroad as well as Chinese governmental departments attended it. During that<br />

period, the Foundation had already donated 1.5 million yuan to the Hauser Center.<br />
