Update on AEP

The Asia-Ready Exposure Programme (AEP) begun in 2020 and has since enabled at least 20,000 youths to gain meaningful exposure in ASEAN, China and India.

Currently in its fifth year, the AEP will be undergoing a review, and we seek your understanding that AEP grant applications for projects scheduled to be held from December 2024 will be put on hold. Applications have thus closed with immediate effect until further notice.

We invite you to keep a lookout for updates here and/or the OurSG Grants Portal.

If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact us at AEP_Enquiries@nyc.gov.sg

About AEP

The AEP aims to:

1. Increase youth awareness and understanding of the social, cultural and political dimensions of the ACI cities;
2. Increase awareness of the economic growth trajectories and opportunities in the ACI markets; and
3. Broaden personal growth opportunities and youth ACI networks.

Are you a recognised education institution or an organisation based and registered in Singapore that is keen on providing our youths with opportunities for regional exposure? Or a group of youths who are passionate about helping other youths to better understand the fast-growing Asia region? Then click on the AEP Factsheet and FAQ to find out more.
