Kenya is poised to become the preferred destination for business processing outsourcing
(BPO) services in Africa. Strategically located on the eastern part of Africa, bordering the
Indian Ocean, Kenya is already the gateway to
sub-saharan Africa as well as the regional hub
for communication, transport, and finance in
East Africa.
With a population of slightly over 30 million
people, a very convenient time zone (GMT +3),
political stability, dynamic private sector,
harmonious industrial relations, preferential
market access, and a qualified workforce, Kenya
is making giant strides to becoming an
outsourcing giant.
Kenya has thousands of highly skilled
professionals – accountants, lawyers, doctors,
architects, designers, transcribers, programmers,
engineers, economists, researchers, etc. – who
are fluent in English, well-trained, computer
literate, and available for BPO services 24/7. |
