The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply

Southern Africa

The Chartered in Institute of Purchasing (CIPS) and the Institute of Purchasing and Supply South Africa (IPSA) have joined together to form a full service institute to be known as CIPS Southern Africa.

CIPS Southern Africa will give members increased benefits delivered locally from the new office in Pretoria which will open from 7 April 2010. The new structure will enable us to respond to the specific needs of the procurement and supply chain community from Southern African countries including Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and South Africa.

Member’s benefits will include:

  • Access to CIPS qualifications recognised by the SAQA framework
  • regional Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)
  • specific news section in Supply Management magazine
  • excellent networking opportunities through our events programme for local members, leaders and discounted training events
  • corporate education, training and assessment activities find out more
We've developed some frequently asked questions to help you to find out more about CIPS Southern Africa.
