Austin S. Khulumula

Abstract

The development of metrology infrastructure in African Member States has been the mandate given to ARSO by the African Union (AU) previously the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in its Treaty. ARSO fulfils this role through coordination mechanism that harmonizes the sub-regional metrology programmes, arrangements of training of personnel with the support of cooperating partners and African Governments. ARSO ensures, through its programmes the maximum sharing of facilities among African Member States in order to enhance the measurement capabilities of countries in the African economies for better competitiveness of goods and services.
