Scaling the mSupply System Across Nigeria 

Deploying a national procurement and supply chain system across multiple states is never simple and in Nigeria’s health sector, it had proven especially difficult. Prior attempts by others to roll out the mSupply system had struggled to gain traction, often stalling at pilot stages or facing adoption and coordination challenges across states.

MEBS Global took on this challenge with a clear objective: ensure the successful deployment of the mSupply system so that states across Nigeria could actively use it to strengthen procurement, inventory management, and accountability within the health supply chain. Rather than approaching the deployment as a purely technical exercise, MEBS Global focused on execution discipline, stakeholder engagement and alignment, and practical change management.

From the outset, the team worked closely with state actors, implementing partners, and the donor stakeholders to create clarity around roles, timelines, and expectations. Training was deliberately integrated with deployment, ensuring users did not just receive a system, but understood how to apply it in their day-to-day operations. Progress was tracked continuously, risks were surfaced early, and reporting remained transparent allowing the project to adapt quickly where needed.

This structured yet flexible approach helped MEBS Global overcome challenges that had previously slowed similar efforts. States were not only onboarded, but supported through the transition, enabling consistent use of the mSupply system rather than one-off implementation.

The result is a deployment that demonstrates what is possible when strong project discipline meets local engagement and adaptive delivery. MEBS Global’s work on mSupply stands as a clear example of how complex, nationwide systems can succeed when execution is intentional and people focused.
