🏛️ Welcome Message from KEBS & Host Nation

On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), we are honored to welcome delegates, industry leaders, policymakers, and standardization experts to the 32nd African Organisation for Standardisation (ARSO) General Assembly.

As host nation, Kenya remains steadfast in driving continental trade integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Harmonized standards and robust quality infrastructure are the pillars that eliminate technical barriers to trade, safeguarding consumer safety while propelling “Made in Africa” products onto global markets.
