    Kenya's economy thrives on the backbone of SMEs. The latest statistics from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) show that the sector employs about 86 per cent of the population and contributes about 45 per cent to the country's gross domestic product.

    The Kenya Bureau of Standards has initiated Kenya Quality Award (KQA), to promote and entrench a quality culture amongst Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya.

    The Kenya Quality Award programme besides recognising MSMEs to produce quality products, they will assist them to initiate, develop and implement quality management systems to a status of certification.

    “We recognize the opportunity to build capacities for MSMEs to develop formal quality models that will help them mature to effective sustainable quality management systems,” said Kebs acting managing director, Bernard Njiraini during the launch on Monday.
