MTN Ghana awarded for outstanding local procurement operations

MTN Ghana has received an award from the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply (CIPS) and the Association of Ghana Industries for its contributions to local procurement. The award was presented during the annual CIPS awards night held in Accra.

End-to-end management of procurement has been improved, from budgeting through to requisition approval, sourcing, and order transmission, using a single ERP system.
