Singapore Cooperation Programme - SCP

Singapore Cooperation Programme - SCP Welcome to the Singapore Cooperation Programme page! We've created this page to serve as a meeting point for our SCP alumni. Let’s keep in touch!

Established in 1992, the Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP) is Singapore’s way of contributing to the international community. Singapore benefited from technical assistance in our early nation-building years and the SCP is our way of giving back. As a small island state with no natural resources, Singapore believes that human resource development is key to a country's sustainable development an

d progress. Working with more than 50 international and local partners, we have shared our development experiences with close to 150,000 government officials from over 180 countries, territories & intergovernmental organisations.

Singapore and Vietnam share a deep commitment to knowledge exchange and mutual growth.

As part of this ongoing exchange, senior officials from the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) visited Singapore for the 22nd Study Visit, gaining insights into Singapore’s Smart Nation journey, including citizen-centric public service delivery, digital economy and inclusion.

Partnerships like these are built over time. And they show.

Small island developing states face shared challenges in digital transformation: how do we build systems that are secure, inclusive and agile, despite limited resources?

Government officials from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) explored this question alongside partners from Singapore and Chile Agencia Chilena de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, exchanging experiences in digital governance, public service delivery, and cybersecurity.

This workshop marked the inaugural course conducted under the Singapore–Chile Third Country Training Programme (TCTP), as well as the first course conducted under the newly-launched COAST (Cooperating for Opportunities, Advancement, Sustainability and Transformation) Technical Assistance Package. The COAST package opens new avenues for collaboration and deeper engagement with Caribbean countries.

What has been most challenging in building digital government systems in your context?

From motorcades to diplomatic etiquette and multilateral engagement protocols, successful international meetings rely on expertise that often goes unseen.

In the lead-up to Palau assuming chairmanship of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) and hosting the 55th PIF Leaders Meeting from 30 August to 4 September 2026, more than 50 officials took part in a customised Protocol Training Workshop designed to strengthen readiness for high-level international engagements.

The workshop is one of many capacity-building efforts under Singapore's longstanding partnership with Pacific Island countries through the SCP, reaching over 6,700 officials from PIF countries and territories.

Many of the most important moments in diplomacy happen behind the scenes. What preparations do you think matter most?

For Small States, digital technologies can be a powerful catalyst for change, to uplift communities and improve lives.

16 senior officials from Forum of Small States (FOSS) Member States recently gathered in Singapore for the FOSS Executive Programme on “Digital Governance, Cybersecurity and AI Adoption for Public Service”, conducted under the FOSS for Good Package, in partnership with United Nations Development Programme - UNDP.

Through panel discussions, case studies, peer learning exchanges and a learning journey to ITE College East, participants explored how whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches to digital transformation can help build a resilient and future-ready Public Service.

West Africa has one of the world’s youngest populations. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) helps turn that youth potential into skills, jobs and growth.

From 11 to 22 May 2026, the SCP partnered with the Ghana TVET Service and ITE Education Services - ITEES to deliver the TVET Leadership and Management workshop in Ghana for West African officials. The programme focused on system-level levers such as curriculum, assessment, pedagogy, staff development and industry partnerships.

As the inaugural course under the Singapore-Africa Partnership Leading to Growth and Sustainability (SAPLINGS) Package, this course marks a new chapter in Singapore’s partnership with Africa, reinforcing our shared commitment to closer cooperation. Unveiled in 2025 by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, the SAPLINGS Package supports capacity building across priority areas like sustainability, digitalisation, and trade facilitation in Africa.

When faced with a crisis, preparedness isn’t improvised–it’s built ahead of time.

The SCP has once again partnered with Toronto Centre in bridging theoretical regulations and real-work financial management.

From 25 to 29 May 2026, senior African officials participated in Toronto Centre’s Certified Financial Supervisor (CFS) Crisis Preparedness Programme in Cape Town, South Africa. Building on the first module’s technical foundations, participants progress from individual expertise to coordinated crisis decision-making through crisis simulations, contingency planning, and cross-agency collaboration.

The SCP is proud to support our alumni as they continue to deepen their expertise and grow into effective financial sector supervisors. Here’s to our continued partnership with Toronto Centre in Africa and beyond!

No two countries experience climate change in exactly the same way, so sharing experiences can help us find more resilient and sustainable pathways forward.

This June, city leaders and senior officials from 9 Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) member states gathered in Singapore for SPARKS Module 3: Towards Climate Resilience and Urban Sustainability for the Pacific — the final chapter of a three-year journey designed to strengthen urban governance, planning and climate resilience.

Launched for PIF member states in 2023, the Singapore-Pacific Resilience and Knowledge Sharing (SPARKS) Package supports capacity building in priority areas such as climate resilience.
