ABOUT THE AWARDS

Celebrating Somalia’s standard-bearers of excellence.

The Somali National Quality Awards 2026 is a national recognition platform designed to identify and celebrate Somali companies, products, services, public institutions and exporters that demonstrate strong performance in quality, innovation, customer service, standards compliance and organisational excellence. The event brings together public- and private-sector leaders, quality and standards institutions, business associations, finalists, manufacturers, exporters, development partners, universities, media and selected content creators. It is designed to make quality visible as a driver of trust, stronger organisational performance and market competitiveness. At regional level, the EAC Regional Quality Awards promote a culture of quality by encouraging enterprises to adopt standards and quality management practices. The regional framework links national quality award initiatives with EAC-level recognition, competitiveness, trade and regional integration.
