MTN Group has signed a partnership deal with South Africa’s Dooka, a new African Business-to-Business marketplace with a view to facilitate corporate procurement on the continent.

The partnership, which will ensure equitable access, digital transparency and greater efficiency for MTN’s suppliers, is focused on allowing corporations across Africa to seamlessly make purchases in the consumer marketplace.

Dooka’s B2B marketplace opens a world of opportunities for local suppliers, who had previously been locked out from supplying larger businesses due to the challenges of digital connections and high barriers to entry. This marketplace enables them easier access to sell more goods and services to MTN as well as other African leading multinationals

This is a chance to revolutionise the supply chain,” says Toby Sparrow, Dooka’s CEO. “Together with MTN, we can demonstrate to the world that the right tools enable corporations to create jobs, development and growth through good procurement strategies. Dooka represents a new way to connect buyers and sellers across every industry. We are levelling the playing field so businesses large and small across Africa can transact as easily as if shopping at home and using the latest digital technologies.”
