The Singapore National Environmental Agency (NEA), through its training affiliate the Singapore Environment  Institute (SEI), trained Indonesian environmental compliance inspectors and officials on March 23-26, 2009, in Singapore. The hands-on training program furthers a twinning partnership between the Indonesia Ministry of Environment (MOE) and Singapore’s NEA aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s inspection capacity.  The program included sharing of best practices and innovative mechanisms by NEA as well as site visits to selected facilities.  Lessons from the training will assist the Indonesia MOE in identifying gaps and developing recommendations to improve inspection procedures and processes.  The twinning arrangement was facilitated through the Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network (AECEN).
