The African Organisation for Standardisation (ARSO) is proud to announce the official release and launch of the ARSO Song of the Year 2026 – Mali inasonga Bila Border (Translated as “Goods are Moving Freely Border to Border“).

Through the power of music and creative expression, this campaign aims to raise awareness across the African continent about the vital role standardisation, quality infrastructure, and harmonize regional standards play in driving sustainable economic growth and intra-African trade.

Expressing Gratitude to the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS)

We extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the Ms. Esther Ngari, EBS – Director General (KEBS) for their unwavering support, leadership, and commitment toward advancing standardisation initiatives across Kenya and the broader African continent.

The Director General‘s vision and continuous collaboration with regional bodies like ARSO have been instrumental in bridging standardisation with youth engagement, innovation, and public awareness.
