N2 - This study aims at understanding the effects of procurement digitalization in the public sector on national development in a developing country context. The importance of procurement digitalization by governments to support national development cannot be over emphasis. A growing number of research on procurement digitalization exist, however, this has focused more on the private sector with less attention on the public sector and its effects on national development in developing countries. Given this gap, this paper employs qualitative interpretive case study as the methodology to investigate procurement digitalization in the public sector of Ghana. The findings show that digitalization of public sector procurement in developing countries has positive and negative effects on national development. This results in partial fulfillment of goals for digitalizing public procurement in developing countries. The findings have implications for research, practice, and policy.
