December 5, 2022

SINGAPORE, 5 December 2022 — The Chandler Academy of Governance (CAG), in collaboration with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) of Vietnam, has successfully delivered the third segment of the Modern and Effective National Governance Programme for Emerging Leaders (MENGPEL). CAG is the learning and development division of the Chandler Governance Group (CGG).

This segment, which took place in Singapore from 28 November to 2 December 2022, focused on building effective government institutions and systems. These are the foundations for an effective public service, and supports the building of strong nations. Specific themes included corruption control and development of public sector human resource management systems.

As part of the programme, the participants attended learning journeys to different parts of Singapore to observe policy implementation and public service delivery on the ground. These included visits to Temasek Polytechnic, the Urban Redevelopment Authority and Singapore’s residential heartlands. Through these learning journeys, participants were able to better understand the role that public institutions played in Singapore’s economic and social development journey.
