SCM Globe and the African Institute of Strategic Purchasing and Research (AISPAR) have signed an agreement to bring hands-on supply chain modeling and simulation to more students and professionals across Africa.
Under the agreement, AISPAR will distribute SCM Globe across its network in Africa, giving universities, training programs and institutions access to a hands-on tool for learning supply chain management.
Why it matters
Supply chain education works best when students can practice, not just study. Learning by doing is what turns theory into real skill, and access to that kind of practical tool has not always been easy to come by across the continent. This partnership is a step toward closing that gap.
By pairing SCM Globe’s simulation platform with AISPAR’s expertise and reach in African supply chain education, the two organizations aim to give more students the chance to learn the way practitioners actually work.
About AISPAR
The African Institute of Strategic Purchasing and Research is a Kenya-registered consultancy and research organization with an Africa-wide focus. It connects industry professionals, academics and public-sector institutions, and works to strengthen supply chain professionalism across the continent through consultancy, applied research, training and capacity building.
AISPAR has worked with governments, NGOs, universities, professional bodies and businesses, including partnerships in Kenya and Zambia. Its work spans strategic purchasing, procurement, supplier development, performance management, monitoring and evaluation, professional training, and research into food systems and resilient supply chains.
About SCM Globe
SCM Globe is a cloud-based supply chain modeling and simulation platform used by universities, companies and training organizations around the world. Its map-based interface lets anyone build and simulate real supply chains without prior technical experience, which has made it a widely used tool for supply chain training.
Looking ahead
The shared goal of this collaboration is simple: give more African students and professionals access to the tools that build real supply chain skills, and support the people already working to raise the standard of supply chain education across the continent.
