About ARC_ESM
Who We Are
The Africa Resource Center for Excellence in Supply Chain Management (ARC_ESM) is a resource and transformation platform mobilizing expertise, partnerships, and innovation to strengthen public health supply chains across Nigeria and Africa.
Our Story
From Vision to Continental Impact
ARC_ESM was founded on the conviction that Africa’s public health supply chains can be transformed through strategic systems thinking, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and sustained capacity building.
Working with federal and state governments, development partners like the Gates Foundation, private sector corporations, and academic institutions, we have built a unique 3-platform model that addresses the full spectrum of supply chain challenges.
Today, ARC_ESM stands as a continental systems architect — not merely implementing projects, but designing the architecture for lasting health supply chain transformation.
