My educational qualifications include BA BPSCM from University of Greenwich and CIPS Advanced Diploma in 2009. In addition to being a member of CIPS, I am also a member of the Zambia Institute of Purchasing and Supply (ZIPS), a public procurement regulating body that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of procurement in public bodies.

My Work experience includes Teaching Practice at Evelyn Hone College of Applied Arts and Commerce and I have also worked as Tutor in Purchasing and Supply, and Management Courses at ZAF Samora (Mbala). In addition to Lecturing on Purchasing and Supply, I have worked in various procurement roles like Sourcing of Suppliers of various Goods, Works and Services, Collecting and Analyzing Quotations, Supplier Appraising and Selection, Raising Purchase Orders etc.

I decided to do CPPP because it is specifically tailored to the requirements and needs of my profession as a public procurement officer. The program is so insightful and details the public procurement process. Most of my previous studies were general and lacked specifics of public procurement.

I would urge all those in the procurement profession to undertake this program.
