Project LOCALVANTAGE

MTN Group – Global Sourcing & Supply Chain

MTN Group is dedicated to the growth and support of Small & Medium Enterprise Suppliers (SMEs) and Women-owned businesses. With a vendor base of approximately 21,000 suppliers, a significant portion (about 30%+) of these suppliers are SMEs, spread across 19 different markets in Africa.

Recently, we launched "LOCALVANTAGE". This B2B Procurement marketplace platform allows our suppliers and buyers to purchase indirect sourcing products through an e-commerce shopping cart experience. The platform not only streamlines procurement process through automated and self-service methodology but also opens up new business opportunities for local suppliers by showcasing their products to other companies in Africa.
