As one of the pioneers in Zambia for Supplier Development Programmes (SDP) delivery, Prospero understands the importance for having a holistic SDP that aims to elevate Zambian suppliers and entrepreneurs, enabling them to compete effectively within the vast mine supply chains.
Our SDP focuses on strengthening the capabilities of SMEs using two key interventions: i) Capacity building and ii) Access to innovative and affordable working capital solutions. The programme targets both suppliers already engaged with mines or those poised to enter the mining value chain.
