ICAO-Singapore Developing Countries Training Programme FY2012/13

Singapore and ICAO jointly established a Developing Countries Training Programme in 2001 which is sponsored by the Singapore Government under the Singapore Cooperation Programme and administered by the ICAO Technical Cooperation Bureau for specialised training programmes conducted by the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA). The programme, which has been awarding fellowships for training at SAA since 2001, was further extended and expanded in 2004 and 2007. In response to overwhelming and continued demand, the fellowship programme has been further extended for another three years from 2010 to 2012, and expanded to provide 180 fellowships. Terms of Fellowships The Government of Singapore will bear the training fees, daily allowance of Thirty Singapore Dollars (S$30) and hotel accommodation for participants accepted for the programmes. Complimentary breakfast will be provided at the hotel and lunch at SAA during training days. On weekends and public holidays where lunch is not provided, the daily allowance would be Forty Singapore Dollars (S$40). Travel arrangements are to be made and costs borne by the nominating Governments. Hotel accommodation will be provided for the training duration, i.e. one day before course commencement (after 2 pm) and one day after the course (till 12 noon). Daily allowance will be limited to the training duration, i.e. from the start of the course up to the last day of the course. Expenses to be incurred for stay beyond this duration will not be covered. Participants are advised to secure their own overseas travel insurance to cover themselves for the period of the training in Singapore. Training Programmes The fellowships are offered for the following training programmes. For the latest programme dates and details, please refer to: www.saa.com.sg/fellowships.

Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP) Singapore has provided technical assistance to other developing countries since the 1960s. In 1992, the SCP was established, bringing together under one framework the various technical assistance programmes offered by Singapore. Since then, Singapore has sponsored training courses and study visits for over 75,000 officials from 170 developing countries in Asia Pacific, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. The SCP is administered by the Technical Cooperation Directorate of the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

ICAO Fellowship Programme ICAO firmly believes that the safe and efficient operation of air transport systems is totally dependent on the skills and knowledge of the national personnel who operate and maintain these systems. ICAO, with UNDP support, has assisted over 50 developing States in establishing national civil aviation training centres. Through its Technical Cooperation Programme, ICAO has been active in awarding fellowship training in the various fields of civil aviation. In the past 15 years, around 15,000 fellowships were awarded to almost every developing State.

Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA) SAA is the internationally-recognised training arm of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. Made up of four specialised schools – the School of Aviation Management, the School of Aviation Safety and Security, the School of Air Traffic Services and the School of Airport Emergency Services – SAA has trained over 67,000 participants from 200 countries. SAA was conferred the prestigious 34th Edward Warner Award by the ICAO Council on behalf of its then 185 Member States in 2000 “in recognition of its eminent contribution as a centre of excellence in international civil aviation training”.
