    Small yards, big tents: How to build cooperation on critical international standards. Published by Brookings 11/03/2024. Key points: "Government can and should take steps to enable greater participation from a wider range of stakeholders but, if the system of standards development for AI and other critical emerging technologies is to be led by key standards development organizations (SDOs), these organizatons will have to do the most to broaden participation." "Governments can heighten awareness of standards and participation among their own personnel and the public. Elevating the level of the leadership involved standards-related activities will help increase their visibility." "The U.S., EU, China, and other governments and international bodies have recognized a need for international engagement on standards." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/small-yards-big-tents-how-to-build-cooperation-on-critical-international-standards/

    41st Session of the ARSO Monthly Webinar series, co-organised with Senegal/ASN, under the Theme: Standardisation and Public Policy, and the topic: The role of standardisation in promoting the public policy Agenda and governance". The Webinar will be held on 28th February 2024 at 2.30pm Nairobi time. The webinar gives the platform to discuss how standardisation supports policymakers and regulators in preparing, adopting and applying policy, and in particular, technical regulations (TRs). Public Policies are Acts, legislations, statutes, ordinances, regulations used by Governments to focus on addressing problems, achieving transformation or a mixture of the two. Most public policies are aimed at guiding the delivery of public goods and services. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMrcO6hrjgvHdBBpU1OZtY-bQY3pnmSo1hS#/registration

    Could standards help unleash the potential of AI in the low income countries? Artificial intelligence (AI) provides an interesting insight into the relationship between standards and policies. AI is purported to be an historic game changer in the way that the arrival of the railway or the internet was: a force that changes the way we do everything from government to business to running an individual household. When this kind of change takes place, policies and standards both play an important role in ensuring that adoption of the technology is done in a way that manages risk while supporting innovation. Standards can be ussed as a powerful tool to support Policy objectives. The potential of AI for emerging economies AI could have a radical impact on developing countries around the world, as a recent Economist article points out. Some of the most intractable challenges could be addressed by AI, for example: ● AI chatbots could help to teach children in hard-to-reach places, reducing the workload of overstretched teachers and making learning more engaging; ● Making up skilled labour shortages in specialist areas like engineering and medicine through automation of tasks such as scan assessment; ● Provision of health advice in places where healthcare services are hard to access; ● Giving low-cost training to workers in critical industries; ● Gathering data on agricultural land to help make farming more efficient and productive; ● Generating data about issues like population density to help inform government and charity activities; ● Automation of form-filling bureaucracy that can be time-consuming and limits opportunities for people with low literacy. These are just a few of the potential ways that AI could help to make populations in developing countries healthier, better educated and better informed, improving quality of life and addressing global inequalities. The challenge of new technology The adoption of AI will be shaped by many factors. The technology comes with risks and challenges as well as opportunities. Governments around the world are grappling with the legislation, regulation and policies that will enable benefits to be harnessed, while minimizing risks. Policies might include establishing organizations to promote the use of AI, investment in infrastructure, funding programmes and more. Policy decisions require a country’s politicians to make decisions about the direction they want to take. This includes how far technology should be implemented in exchange for anticipated benefits, and where to place restrictions due to aspects such as data privacy or business continuity. In contrast, standards distil consensus opinion about the best way to do something. As a recent Commonwealth Standards Network (CSN) paper states, standards are typically independent of government but may form part of an overall landscape shaped by government policy. So for example, if government policy states that use of AI must place curbs on how private data should be stored and processed, standards can step in with guidance on how that goal can be achieved. Standards and Regulations can support each other As the CSN paper explains, good standards practices work in combination with good regulatory practices to provide a framework for progress. In the case of AI, standards might assist with: ● Providing a framework for managing risk; ● Setting out best practice in data controls; ● Establishment of shared definitions of key concepts; ● Enabling participation in regional and global markets. To find out more, take a look at our Executive Summary on the role of standards in supporting policy.

    Foodborne disease is as much of a problem as malaria – how standards are helping to tackle it Foodborne diseases place as much of a burden on developing countries as malaria. The global economic burden is estimated to be over US$100 million each year, with 90% of this impacting low and middle-income countries. However, whereas the eradication of malaria is a high-profile goal, improving food safety gets less attention. The good news is that standards have an important part to play in improving food safety, and they can be adapted for anything from complex supply chains to informal local markets. The toll of unsafe food practices Around 600 million people fall ill and die due to unsafe food each year. In emerging economies, the problem is often complicated by pre-existing malnutrition and reduced access to healthcare. Foodborne disease outbreaks in developing countries are likely to be underreported and underestimated. Accurate data on the issue is hard to gather, making it more challenging for governments and authorities to address the issue. In addition to the human suffering involved, food safety issues have a socioeconomic impact: reduced productivity, additional strain on health systems and a detriment to trade and tourism. Tackling the issue of food safety This is not an easy problem to address, because it has many causes. Unsafe raw food, inappropriate storage temperature, poor storage infrastructure, inadequate cooking, poor personal hygiene, improper handling methods and cross-contamination of cooked and raw food all contribute. Foodborne disease includes bacterial infection such as salmonella, campylobacter, E-coli, listeria, and cholera. Viruses including Hepatitis A can be transmitted through food, causing lasting liver disease. Food can also carry parasites, prions (infectious agents composed of protein - bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE is associated with ingestion of prions). Food can also be compromised by chemicals, which may occur through mould, pollution of air, water or soil or through other vectors. Contamination of food can take place within the home, or at any point in the supply chain – farming, distribution, packing, wholesale, retail and restaurants. The challenge is partly one of awareness and improving the understanding of food safety, but it is also about infrastructure and access to refrigerated transport, clean water, reliable energy and refrigeration. Using an international standard to save lives There is sometimes a perception that standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are intended for large corporations rather than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but this is not the case. ISO 22000 Food safety management helps organizations to identify food safety hazards and reduce exposure to risk. It outlines the processes that can be used to create a food safety management system (FSMS), for example by identifying hazards and putting controls in place. A National Quality Infrastructure can be used to bring about systemic change, helping to enforce regulations, raise awareness and monitor performance effectively. Find out more here.

    CSN Gender Data Flex Presentation & Webinar Throughout the session, we delve into the intricacies of inclusive standards development and the pivotal role of data in achieving this. In understanding the significance of standards, we explore their essential role in providing a framework for consistency, quality, safety, and innovation across various domains, contributing to individual well-being, industry efficiency, and the global economy. Distinguishing between different types of standards, we learn about the flexibility and rapid, iterative nature of Flex, especially suitable for industries experiencing swift changes. This adaptability is crucial, particularly in the context of today's dynamic technological landscape. The session underscores the critical role of data in inclusion (i.e. helping us change society to more fairly accommodate everyone). Whether quantitative or qualitative, data offers robust insights for evidence-based decision-making, empowers lesser-heard groups, and provides a truly holistic understanding of communities. Our exploration of data extends into its role in industries and society, emphasising its critical importance in technological and societal developments. The awareness of data bias, both social and technical, is highlighted, acknowledging that all data has context, and understanding biases is crucial for minimising negative impact. The Flex 236 v2, our main focus, is a tool for a broad range of stakeholders involved in standards development. Its alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly gender equality and reduced inequalities, emphasises the importance of inclusive data in development. The scope of Flex 236 v2 covers various aspects of standards development, from selecting and assessing data to understanding and mitigating biases. It provides a comprehensive guide for making standards more inclusive and reflective of diverse communities. Navigating through legal protections and data regulations, we consider examples from the UK, including the Equality Act and GDPR. Understanding such regulations is vital for standards makers operating globally. The session outlines the steps in standards development, emphasising the importance of inclusive data in identifying needs, selecting and analysing data, and maintaining inclusivity throughout the process. Types of data used in standards development are explored, ranging from provided and observed to synthetic and secondary data, each playing a unique role in informing standards. Assessing and documenting data inclusivity, along with impact assessments and mitigating negative consequences, are crucial aspects covered, stressing the responsibility of standards makers in ensuring ethical and inclusive practices. Lastly, the session covers data governance and quality management, underscoring the need for transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in the standards development process. In conclusion, the session provides a holistic understanding of inclusive standards development, with Flex 236 v2 serving as a valuable guide for navigating the complex landscape of data and standards. We hope you find these insights useful in your work. CSN Genda Data Flex Presentation_12-2023.pdf

    "The UK will today [Tuesday 13 February] sign a partnership with Nigeria to boost trade and investment and unlock new opportunities for UK and Nigerian businesses. The Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership (ETIP) is the first the UK has signed with an African country and is designed to grow the UK and Nigeria’s already thriving trading relationship, which totalled £7 billion in the year to September 2023. The partnership will create opportunities across a breadth of sectors crucial to both economies, such as financial and legal services. It will see Nigeria commit to working towards removing barriers preventing UK lawyers from practising international and foreign law in Nigeria, a step that could significantly increase UK legal services exports. It will also pave the way for further collaboration in the film and media industry and encourage world-leading UK education providers to offer high quality education in Nigeria. Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and one of the world’s fastest growing economies – predicted to be in the top 20 by GDP by 2035. It is also predicted by the UN to nearly double its population to over 370 million people by 2050" https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-signs-landmark-economic-partnership-with-nigeria

    Can standards help nations make meaningful progress towards domestic ambitions?  A recent article in the FT claimed that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed by the UN General Assembly in 2015 are well-meaning but ‘doomed from the start.’ Why? Well, the SDGs, a set of 13 ambitious goals which cover everything from ending poverty to ensuring good health and wellbeing for everyone on the planet to creating resilient infrastructure, are said to be too broad. In addition, some goals conflict with each other. Building a road network might generate economic development and improve infrastructure, but it could also lead to more pollution, road deaths, deforestation and so on. Could standards provide an alternative approach? Criticism of the SDGs may sound like a counsel for despair. If the SDGs are too lofty in their ambitions, what’s the alternative? The FT article argues that the SDGs ‘prioritise everything’ and therefore make progress unattainable, especially for lower income countries with limited resources. The world of standards can point the way to a different approach. Standards are developed by experts who have experience in making change happen. They distil best practice and provide a common sense, consensus approach to a given area. In contrast to SDGs and policies that set out a direction of travel, they provide a roadmap of how to actually make real progress on the ground. A National Standards Body (NSB) can assess a nation’s National Quality Infrastructure, develop a National Standardization Strategy and begin to develop a body of standards that work for the specific needs of that country. This provides an invaluable tool for sectors and organizations trying to improve and contribute to economic development. How do standards help? Standards provide guidance and support for anything from manufacturing to managing people. They help to set out criteria for testing and measurements that provide certainty and improve trust in a marketplace. As CSN’s recent 'Roadmap for NSBs' publication points out, standards have been proven to provide benefits at a company, sector and national level. Firstly, standards help to streamline operations, improving efficiency and reducing waste. Secondly, they help organizations to innovate and scale up, taking the next step in expansion and growth. Finally, standards also provide help to enter new markets, whether this is development of new products or a shift into international markets. Standards enable organizations to access the wisdom of experts and experienced professionals. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, standards users can accelerate their progress and demonstrate competence. A comprehensive system: When FT journalist David Pilling claimed SDGs are flawed, he was envisaging that making progress on many fronts at once would be too difficult. However, organizations around the world have found ways to balance priorities and make informed choices about their priorities. Standards systems help organizations work out challenges such as how to grow while reducing carbon emissions, or how to ensure supply chain partners meet quality requirements. For each SDG, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has identified the standards that make the most significant contribution, they peovide clear pathways to help organisations to achieve SGGs. With over 22,000 ISO standards covering almost every subject, from products through to procedures, there are many industry specific ISO standards that correspond to each of the SDGs.
