One of the participants at the training, Ms Isatu Bah stated that she found the training to be very useful as she gained skills such as the standard ways of procurement process according to NPPA requirements, the need to consider not only the purchasing cost but the time, duration, recurring cost in the procurement process. Other skills learned include knowing the five R’s of Procurements (Right Place; Right quality; Right Quantity; Right Time; Right Price) etc.
In his remarks, the Director General of the Commission Dr. Emmanuel Mannah stated that the Commission’s request for the training was borne out of the President Maada Bio’s call for delivery in all areas and as such, the need for an in-depth training for the procurement staff of the newly set up unit of the Commission in order that no one would be found wanting in the future.
