In 2002, SNCF reviewed its strategic direction with an emphasis placed on the enhancement of Co-operative Governance among co-operatives. Across the years, the federation ran numerous public campaigns to raise awareness on the Singapore Co-operative Movement as well as charity shows to benefit communities locally and abroad.

In 2007, SNCF hosted the ICA General Assembly in Singapore. Three years later, the federation became the first national-level organisation from Southeast Asia to become a direct member of World Council of Credit Union (WOCCU).

To commemorate SNCF’s 35^th anniversary and 90 years of co-operative history in Singapore, SNCF commissioned The Singapore Co-operative Story (1925 - 2014), a book chronicling the Co-operative Movement and the trailblazing works of co-operative pioneers, in 2015.

In conjunction with Singapore’s Bicentennial celebrations in 2019, SNCF organised a year-long campaign of art-themed pop-up events – “Coming Together As One Through Art”, to raise awareness about the Co-operative Movement and co-operatives’ contributions to Singapore’s nation-building efforts. The federation published a book Singapore Co-operatives, Singapore Stories to commemorate Singapore’s Bicentennial as well.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, SNCF helped co-operatives pivot effectively by offering new grants, and institutional and other digital support. The latter include basic designing workshops for co-operative members to adapt to the digital playground. In 2021, following a one-year hiatus, SNCF organised the Annual Co-operative Leaders’ Conference (ACLC), a phygital event that saw guests attending physically and online.
