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.
