The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School) is pleased to launch the Temasek

The programme is developed by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School), NUS in collaboration with Temasek Foundation and PUB, Singapore’s national water agency.The TFWLP aims to meet the needs of policymakers and leaders within both public and private water utilities that are trying to cope with the various challenges ranging from institutional, regulatory, and financial aspects of delivering water and sanitation. It will expose participants to case studies on good practices in water utilities governance, practical guidance on effectively managing water utilities, and potential strategies to deal with current and future challenges.
Designed for middle and upper level managers in local regional or national water utilities, the programme is also highly relevant to policymakers, public utilities officials, consultants, researchers and representatives of civil society who are concerned with the governance of water utilities in their countries. Each team should ideally be composed of 3-4 from a public utility agency, 1-2 national government representatives, and 1-2 private or not-for-profit representatives (NGO’s) from one country. Designations could range from Chairman, Chief Executive Officers, Directors, Deputy Directors, Managers, consultants or researchers etc.Full tuition expenses and hotel accommodation will be covered by the Temasek Foundation for the successful applicant.
