About Our Work in Singapore

We have a long and distinguished history in Singapore, having maintained a full office and country program there for much of the Foundation’s 70-year history, and having made important contributions to leadership development, education, and Singapore’s regional relations in the crucial early years of the 1960s and 1970s following Singapore’s independence. The Asia Foundation cooperates with leading Singapore institutions on a range of regional issues and programs. Recent programs include specialized training for emerging Asian leaders at the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, placement of the Foundation’s Luce Scholars, a conference on Asian Views on America’s Role in Asia in cooperation with the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University, and the ASEAN Conference on Legal Issues of Regional Importance.
