Need for training
Continuous skills upgrade programs, new processes and exposure to latest international best practice form critical ingredients to building strong procurement competencies among organization staff.
This seminar covers aspects of active supplier management in detail and introduces you to various practical tools that are available while managing supplier relationships; moreover, participation in this seminar will help you develop a practical approach that can be applied to any supplier relationship in diverse organization setting- from phases of supplier management, procurement management framework through supplier management tools and techniques.
You will also appreciate the fact that procurement systems in the developing world, especially among institutions and organizations in the African context, have increasingly become a target for corrupt practices: with misallocation of scarce resources, reduction in the quality of services, increased cost of doing business, discouraging new funding streams and loss of trust among donors expose these organizations/institutions to stagnation and slow growth. Consequently, this seminar equips your procurement staff with best practices in the management and governance of procurement to enable them observe the highest ethical standards in procurement and improve the moral probity of your organization among funders. Indeed, organization managers and policy makers should be able to identify the nexus between organization probity and continued/increased access to donor funding.
