ForsaEduforsaedu.comOpportunity Overview
Short training courses in Singapore for government officials from developing countries, nominated by their governments, with fees, accommodation and a daily allowance paid by the Government of Singapore. The Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP), the technical assistance programme run by Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, offers courses throughout the year in areas such as governance, AI and the digital economy, urban planning, water management, health and education. In the courses announced for 2026, the Government of Singapore pays course fees, visa fees, hotel accommodation, transport between the hotel and the venue and basic insurance, plus a cash per diem (for example S$130 for the AI course in September 2026), while the nominating government usually pays the return airfare. Mid- to senior-level officials are nominated through their country's National Focal Point for technical assistance; they must be proficient in English and in good health, and each country sets age and length-of-service rules. Each course has its own nomination deadline in its brochure (for example 24 July 2026 for the September course), so follow the courses announced by the relevant government body in your country.
