Prisca Burton Lwangili
Deputy Permanent Secretary, President Office, Public Service Management and Good Governance, Tanzania
Participant of Strong Nations for Africa Programme (SNFAP) 2026

"The programme has been one of the most engaging and thoughtfully designed professional development experiences we have participated in. The progression from the online learning sessions and applied learning assignment to the immersive workshop in Bangkok created an effective and practical learning journey that challenged us to reflect critically on our own city’s governance systems while developing innovative approaches for the future."

Mohamed Athif
Mayor, Kulhudhuffushi City Council
Participating City of the Future-Ready Urban Governance Training Programme 2026

"This is the first time all our Permanent Secretaries have come together for a joint training. It’s a chance to strengthen leadership at the top because to transform our nation, our leaders must transform themselves first. I believe what our PSs learn here will cascade through their ministries and drive a whole-of-government approach to development."

Lucy Nakyobe Mbonye
Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet / Office of the President
Participant of the Uganda Public Service Leadership Excellence Programme 2025

"The programme was very comprehensive. In Arusha, the programme covers institutional development, public sector accountability, and transformational leadership. In Singapore, we observe foresight, policy implementation and citizen-centric public service delivery through visits to Changi Airport, Singapore heartlands and the Housing Development Board."

Kamaludin Hassan
Permanent Secretary, Office of the Prime Minister, Somalia.
Participant of Strong Nations for Africa Programme (SNFAP) 2025

"The LCSP session was truly enlightening—there was clarity, insights and engaging discussions. Further, the academic rigor, the inspiring stories of Singapore, and anecdotes have not only made me think deeply, but also inspired me to be [a] visionary leader. Also, it pushed me to set ambitious goals while remaining grounded. The timing of this programme could not have been more perfect; it truly came at the right moment for all of us."

Ugyen Norbu
Regional Director, Department of Revenue and Customs, Ministry of Finance, Bhutan
Participant of the Leaders in Civil Service Programme (LSCP) 2025

"The programme did not simply enrich my analytical understanding of state capacity; it recalibrated my perspective on the ethical foundations of governance. Since then, I have found myself actively sharing its conceptual frameworks within my professional and academic engagements. In many ways, SNFAP has become part of the intellectual lens through which I approach institutional questions. ... [I] would be honoured to continue contributing to this growing alumni ecosystem, particularly in strengthening connections with practitioners and academic circles in my region. I firmly believe that sustained alumni engagement amplifies the long-term impact of the programme beyond the residential phase itself."

Achref Ghorbel
Director of Procurement and Logistics at National Health Insurance Fund, Ministry of Social Affairs, Tunisia
Participant of the Strong Nations for Africa Programme (SNFAP) 2024

"During a training session on strategic governance, I learned about a data-driven decision-making model. I subsequently applied this model to the local government’s response to the effects of Typhoon No. 3 (Typhoon Yagi) in order to mitigate damage to people and property. By collecting and analysing data from various sources, we identified the risks involved, enabling the local governments to adjust their strategies to better meet actual needs."

Partners’ Testimonials

While participants share how the programmes have shaped their leadership and work, our partners highlight the value of collaboration in co-creating programmes that are context-driven, practical, and aligned with national priorities.

"Together with the Public Service Commission of Kenya, the Kenya government and CAG, we sit down, have conversations on the context of Kenya, co-create the programme and share feedback openly. CAG is a partner who listens to you, who develops the curriculum that suits your needs, that is both theoretical and practical with simulations, fieldwork and projects. The online system for the programme is interactive, simple to navigate and easy to engage."

Caren Wakoli
Founder and Executive Director,
Emerging Leaders Foundation, Kenya

"We would like to sincerely thank CAG for always respecting, listening and closely cooperating with the Academy in building and implementing the programme and arranging international experts with deep knowledge of the profession and rich practical experience to participate in teaching the programme. The Academy highly appreciates the cooperative relationship with CAG and looks forward to continuing to receive CAG's support for the Academy in the next training courses."

Professor Nguyen Quoc Suu
Former Vice President of the Academy of Public Administration and Governance, Viet Nam

"CGG brings deep expertise in governance and public sector development, but what really stood out to us was how CGG worked closely with us to co-create programmes that fit Brunei’s context. Our civil servants get to learn from global practices, best practices, in fact, explore leadership frameworks and apply tools for policy innovation.

CGG's programmes are very practical. People are not just learning theory, they are tackling real-world challenges and bringing those solutions back into their work. For me, the most exciting part is that this is not just short-term training, it is about building long-term capabilities so our civil service can continue to grow, adapt, and serve the nation effectively."
