SINGAPORE, 15 December 2023 – The Chandler Academy of Governance (CAG), the learning and development division of the Chandler Governance Group (CGG), have concluded our inaugural collaboration with Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) to design and deliver the Guinea Executive Leadership Programme. The collaboration marks an expansion of CGG’s reach in Africa and illustrates our continued commitment to building public sector capabilities through our training programmes.

Led by Mr Cidi Wee, CAG Expert, the programme was designed to equip 15 high-potential Guinean public sector leaders from different ministries with skills in policy implementation, personal effectiveness and leadership, project management and problem solving. To enhance retention of learning, participants were required to complete a capstone project where they had to identify a real-life issue back home, explain its impact and present proposed solutions to address the problem.

The programme was held over three segments – two in Singapore and one in Guinea, from 25 September to 15 December 2023. The segments held in Singapore enabled participants to delve deeper into Singapore’s experiences via learning journeys to the heartlands to observe policy implementation on the ground and through discussions led by current and former civil servants.
