CHAIRMAN WORD

The concept of Northern Region Development & Procurement Authority (NRDPA) content emerged with the launch of Northern Region of Ghana's vision 2030, and aiming at developing local content in all sectors, the Northern Region of Ghana has worked on many initiatives and regulations. One of the most prominent efforts was the royal decree to establish the Northern Region Development & Procurement Authority (NRDPA) to achieve the aspirations of our leadership for the growth and prosperity of our national economy.

The Northern Region Development & Procurement Authority (NRDPA) directed all its efforts towards the development of local and foreign content, as the percentage of local content in the Gold expenditure in 2020 reached 57.87%. These efforts will also be directly reflected in the national economy, and the authority will work to be one of the main enablers of our local and foreign products, services and human resources to achieve the objectives of Northern Region of Ghana Vision 2030.

Since its establishment, the Northern Region Development & Procurement Authority (NRDPA) has worked on its vision of nurturing local potential and capitalizing the national purchasing power for a strong and sustainable economy, as well as implementing its mission to formulate and monitor policies and regulations, develop local opportunities in partnership with the public and private sectors.

Based on its vision and mission, the authority will continue to move forward with its initiatives and regulations aimed at promoting the concept of local and foreign contents in the government sector and improving government procurement to direct the national purchasing power towards local and foreign components, developing local content in the private sector through strategic partnerships and raising the awareness of individuals to make the local and foreign component a preferred option in individual consumption.
