Closing on 31 Dec 2025What the role is
What you will be working on
Project #1: International analysis of resourcing and management of community spaces
Community spaces are essential to support social cohesion, forge shared experiences and provide inclusive venues for public life. In this internship, you will examine how community spaces are planned, funded and managed in a comparative analysis between Singapore and other international cities. Your contribution could inform future policies toward the resourcing and management of these everyday spaces in Singapore.
Through this internship, you can look forward to
• Conduct comparative research between Singapore and other international cities on (a) resource allocation and benchmarks, and (b) funding and management structure of community spaces.
• Develop skills in policy research and policy-making (e.g., for social infrastructure planning).
• Recommend suitable resourcing benchmarks and funding framework for Singapore.
• Build competencies in report-writing and synthesising data into insights.
Project #2: Public Funding of Election Administration
Administering elections is a complex process that requires considerable resourcing. In addition, as elections can be called at any time, there is also uncertainty when budgeting and planning for election expenses in advance. In this project, you will be tasked to conduct scans of international best practices for funding of election administration and distil actionable insights for Singapore.
Depending on the team’s needs, you may also expect to support and/or gain exposure to the team’s other ongoing work.
What we are looking for
• Strong critical thinking and analytical skills.
• Able to obtain and synthesise information from multiple sources.
• Keen interest in public policy issues.
