2021 Africa Developer Report
Opportunities for software developers in Africa are at an all-time high, according to the 2021 Africa Developer Report by Google and Accenture, driven primarily by the booming startup ecosystem and the global demand for remote work. Local businesses are also contributing to this demand as they seek to hire more developers to help them build a better online presence.
The report also looked at ways that technology companies can accelerate access to these opportunities through education and training programmes that improve on job readiness.
