| Temasek Review 2011

Set up in 2007, Temasek Foundation (TF) works with Singapore and international institutions to support the building of human capacity, the bridging of peoples, the promotion of governance and the rebuilding of lives post disasters.

To date, over 100 programmes aimed at developing capacities and capabilities of communities in Asia have been supported by TF through commitments of almost S$74 million. These programmes cover healthcare, education, public administration and disaster preparedness, as well as the promotion of networks of cooperation.

Key milestones for the year included a renewed commitment to support the Temasek Foundation Centre for Trade & Negotiations at the S. Rajaratnam School for International Studies at Nanyang Technological University. The Centre organises executive programmes, workshops and a distinguished speaker series for trade officials and policymakers from the region.

In Cambodia, TF supported the training of community health leaders, educators and counsellors from the Ministry of Women’s Affairs in better nutrition management and food hygiene practices.

In early 2011, TF also supported a new training programme in Rwanda to build capabilities in promoting and attracting investments and to develop a human resource management framework for the public sector.
