PILLAR 3 - Standardization

Quality standardization is a critical market enabler to building a competitive industry. And to formalize this integrated paradigm aligned to Africa’s area of strength, and establish it competitively will require benchmarks, regulations & certifications to standardize processes, technologies & techniques across the continent.

This is the basis for developing an EBAFOSA compliance standard that is currently ongoing. The rationale of establishing this EBAFOSA Mark of Quality is premised on the need to create a market driven incentives to combat climate change by maximizing productivity of the catalytic sub-sectors that EBAFOSA is focusing on.

The standard is designed as a generic / continental framework providing the pillar aspects of environmental compliance, organic / health compliance & quality compliance. This sets the basis for contextualization and domestication to country specific criteria & specifications based on the available technologies, techniques & approaches in each respective country and rules & procedures set forth by the National Standards Body in each respective country. Enforcement of this standard is been contextualized to all countries through their National Standards Bodies.
