The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public
Policy at the National University of Singapore (LKY School) is delighted to
invite you to apply for the Temasek Foundation Water Leadership Programme
(TFWLP) to be held in Singapore from 23 April to 4 May 2012. This will be the
second run of the programme developed in collaboration between the Temasek
Foundation, LKY School and PUB, Singapore’s national water agency.
Programme Objectives
The TFWLP is a unique initiative
which aims to meet the needs of water leaders operating in Asian emerging
markets that are adapting to the increasing water and sanitation demands placed
on them. This programme will expose participants to best practices in water
utilities governance, practical guidance on managing water utilities
effectively, and strategies to deal with existing and future challenges.
Through this programme, participants will:
- Appreciate insights from water leaders
on factors contributing to successful water utilities
- Learn key issues, options and best
practices in water utilities management
- Increase their knowledge of good
practices in the design and implementation of investment projects in the water
sector
- Identify the various options of
private sector participation through a public private partnership approach for
ensuring improved and sustainable service delivery
- Understand the different types of
regulation structures and approaches, and
- See how Singapore has adopted an
innovative concept of multiplying water supply by leveraging on advanced
technologies to reclaim treated used water.
The two-week programme will include a
combination of lectures by experienced faculty and practitioners, site visits
and case studies to enhance learning effectiveness. Participants will be
expected to share their knowledge and experience with their colleagues when
they return to their home countries, and also demonstrate how they can implement
change in their respective institutions within a 12 month period.
Participant Profile
The programme is designed for middle
and upper level managers in local regional or national water utility
