Local Content and Industrialisation Requirements in African Procurement
Governments across the continent increasingly attach local content, localisation and industrialisation conditions to major contracts, and buyers must meet them without stalling delivery. This course unpacks how to design sourcing and supplier development approaches that grow local manufacturing and services while managing cost and risk. Delegates learn to measure local content credibly and to build it into tenders and contracts.

Design sourcing strategies that build local manufacturing and service capacity.
