Annually, the Academy conducts an International Relations course, specially catered for officers from external agencies. The course sets out to sensitize other government agencies to international policy and to build up their capacities to provide policy inputs with an international perspective.
The Academy has to date twenty highly regarded and distinguished Senior Fellows; amongst them, former Ambassadors, senior civil servants, and notable scholars. These Senior Fellows graciously assume crucial responsibilities as course lecturers, seminar speakers and resource persons for activities such as fireside chats at the Academy's milestone programmes. The Academy's activities provide a platform for the Senior Fellows to share their experiences and transmit knowledge to the next generation of FSOs.
