Strategic Role

AISPAR’s Research department generates and disseminates evidence on procurement and supply chain practice across Africa — informing policy, strengthening the evidence base for the profession, and feeding directly into AISPAR’s Training and Consultancy work.

Services Offered

• Sector studies and applied research on procurement and supply chain practice
• Policy briefs and position papers for government and institutional stakeholders
• Data collection, analysis, and reporting for partner organisations
• Publication and dissemination of findings through AISPAR’s channels

Our Approach

• Research is applied and practice-oriented, designed to generate findings that inform real decisions rather than purely academic output.
• Where relevant, research findings are fed back into Training curricula and Consultancy methodology, keeping AISPAR’s advisory work current.

What Sets Us Apart

• Research is grounded in direct access to practitioners and institutions through AISPAR’s other three departments not desk-based research alone.
• Findings directly shape what AISPAR teaches and advises on, closing the loop between evidence and practice.
