Singapore, Kerala team up for urban governance
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s environment and utilities experts and Kerala government officials will share their experience in urban governance under a programme largely sponsored by the State’s Temasek Foundation.
The Singapore Cooperation Council will be implementing the programme with $ 633,802 funding from the foundation and $90,656 from the Kerala Government.
The programme will help Kerala officials to draw up development and infrastructure plans to improve urban and waterfront planning, facilities, water management and deal with solid waste, according to a report in The Straits Times on Tuesday.
On Monday, a collaboration deal was signed here by the Kerala Government Secretary, Mr Rajesh Kumar Singh, and the Singapore State-owned council’s chief executive, Mr Alphonsus Chia.
Currently, a 15-official Kerala delegation is in the city state to kickstart the programme with a five-day policy roundtable on the strategy and implementation for urban governance and management.
“The sharing of ideas and experiences in the programme’s workshops would enable the urban managers and administrators to formulate action plans to meet the strategic goals,” said Mr Singh. — PTI
