Mr. Sulayman Gaye, a Senior Planner under the Directorate of Planning at the Ministry of Transport, Works and Infrastructure (MoTWI), has been named one of the top 10 best winners of an alumni award contest called “Tell us Your Story” organized by the Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP) which was established in 1992 to share Singapore’s development experiences with government officials from 180 countries, territories and inter-governmental organizations.
The SCP is managed by the Technical Cooperation Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore.
In May 2022, the SCP celebrated 30 years of existence and as part of the celebrations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore contacted all the alumni of the SCP from the 180 cooperating countries and territories to participate in the contest.
In this contest, alumni were called to write a thesis about their experiences of the SCP and how those experiences shaped their professional development in the context of the public policy environment they operate under.
Mr. Sulayman Gaye was among those called to participate in the contest as an alumni network member having been trained in Singapore in 2014.
As a winner of this contest, Mr. Gaye is currently in Singapore to attend the “Futures for Public Policy” Executive Programme from the 13th to 16th September 2022, to be held at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) at The National University of Singapore.
