MIIF Staff Trained on GHANEPS to Strengthen Public Procurement

The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) in collaboration with the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), has organized a three-day training programme on the Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS) for management and staff of the Fund.

The training, held at the Lancaster Hotel in Accra from Wednesday, January 28 to Friday, January 30, 2026, is in line with the government’s efforts to roll out the system across public institutions to promote transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public procurement.

Designed to build capacity within public institutions, it helped to deepen participants’ understanding of procurement procedures and strengthened their ability to use the GHANEPS platform to carry out procurement activities efficiently and seamlessly.

In a brief remark to close the session, the Director of Capacity Building at the PPA, Mr George Osei-Poku, emphasised the importance of applying the skills acquired during the training in the Fund’s day to day procurement activities.

He urged officers of the Fund to fully adopt GHANEPS for all MIIF procurement activities and indicated that PPA is available to provide support whenever the need arise.

The participants welcomed the training, expressing satisfaction with the facilitators’ practical approach to the training.

They admitted that the GHANEPS platform will help to reduce human intervention in procurement processes, promote fairness, and increase confidence in public procurement.

They observed that the system does not only accelerate the procurement cycle from advertisement to tender opening, but provides an open and accessible platform for suppliers, contractors, and consultants.

It also creates a secure digital audit trail for all transactions, ensuring accountability and transparency at every step.
