The Commonwealth Secretariat through the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation is providing technical assistance to the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to promote the use of Standards by Nigerian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as a strategic business tool.
For background purposes we advise that the Commonwealth Secretariat Strategic Plan be consulted. The Plan is available online and the SME work is part of the Economic Development Programme (Programme 6). This Programme will assist member states to take advantage of opportunities for economic growth and improve their ability to manage economic development in an equitable and sustainable manner. It specifically aims to strengthen policies and systems that support inclusive and sustainable economic growth in member states. This will allow Member states to attract capital flows and manage increased levels of investment, including for private sector development; and create the environment for Member countries to promote viable competitive enterprises that generate employment, income and reduce poverty.
The Secretariat’s capacity to provide cost-effective technical assistance and its role as a ’trusted partner’ and ‘honest broker’ in delivering policy analysis and advice are highly valued. Indicators particularly relevant to this project include (1) the quality of policy advice and support for creating an enabling environment for growth and stability; (2) higher survival rates of MSMEs and an increase in the contribution of MSME businesses to GDP; and (3) increased numbers of successful women in enterprise and greater and more equitable market access for women producers and entrepreneurs.
SON is the sole statutory body vested with the responsibility of standardising and regulating the quality of all products in Nigeria. The Act establishing the body was amended in 1976, 1984 and in 1990. SON has an SME Unit through which it aims to influence the adoption and use of appropriate standards by SMEs. It has a working relationship with a range of business support organisations, including formal state agencies, business representative organisations and NGOs. This intervention will allow SON and its partners to construct a strategy to accomplish this; and put in place the first major programmes of a dedicated SME action plan. It is anticipated that these pilot programmes will be sustained by SON and its partners once the project activities are completed.
This project will attempt to deliver a general education component to convey an awareness of the benefits of standards; and an action component to support SMEs to find and obtain appropriate standards and take the first steps to implementing it. SON has indicated that has the ability to assess SMEs and issue certification for ISO management standards.
It is important to understand that the measure of success for this project is not how many SMEs take up standards, but how SON and its partners build the systems and capabilities for sustained support for projects and programmes to help SMEs on the standards and quality journey throughout their existence. Specifically, the outputs for this project are:
Additional Information
Information available to the successful Consultant will include internal project files containing the Project Appraisal, Logical Framework and Budgets. The Consultant will also work closely with the Adviser responsible for the project.
Technical Assistance is being provided to SON to develop a strategy for a national SME Standards Programme; build their capability to deliver a long term awareness campaign; and implement the first stage of a SME standards programme. Specific issues which need to be factored into the assignment and which are elements of the overall deliverables are noted below.

The Commonwealth Secretariat is inviting bids from companies, consortia and/or Standards Organisations who are registered in a Commonwealth Member Country.

MANAGEMENT
The Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) is a sector wide approach adopted by Government of Uganda in 1999 to improve the administration of justice, maintenance of law and order and strengthen the rule of law in Uganda.
JLOS thus brings together all institutions charged with the administration of justice, maintenance of law and order and human rights.
JLOS programmes are supported through the sector wide approach to planning, budgeting, programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation with a shift of focus from institutional interests to sector wide strategic interests through a rationalized application of resources from the Government of Uganda and Development Partners.
JLOS is a reform programme run under a common investment plan, whose short term strategic objectives include adherence to the rule of law, fostering a culture of human rights, access to justice, reducing the incidence of crime and contributing to economic development.
In the long term, JLOS strategic objectives will be narrowed to three strategic objectives of strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, access to justice and fostering a human rights culture and accountability to bring them in line with the National Development Plan.
