A comparative analysis of leading African countries for global services delivery
Africa has moved from a niche option to a strategic pillar of global services delivery, backed by a young, educated, and multilingual workforce, competitive operating costs, and steadily improving infrastructure. This Everest Group report, produced in association with TP, compares seven leading markets — Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia, Senegal, Ghana, and Kenya — on the talent, cost, language, and risk factors that matter most when deciding where and how to build out a delivery footprint.

A practical, country-by-country guide to where Africa’s talent, language, and cost strengths line up with your delivery priorities.
Reading it, you'll understand:
- How large and fast-growing Africa’s services talent pool really is: The continent has over one million FTE roles in tech and business services, growing 12-14% annually — well above the global average.
- How operating costs differ across seven markets and the reasons behind these differences: Compensation costs in assessed markets are over 80% lower than in the US and UK.
- Where the deepest language coverage lies for your customer base: Over 20 languages are offered across the continent, including French, Arabic, and neutral-accent English. Coverage varies more by country, with the report providing a clear map of these differences.
- What the real operating risks look like and how to address them: Currency, power, and safety concerns vary widely across the continent. The report gives a clear-eyed breakdown of each country’s risk profile and the mitigations that work in practice.
- Why impact sourcing is becoming central to delivery strategy, not just a corporate responsibility checkbox: Impact-sourced team attrition rates are about half of traditional hiring, affecting continuity and costs. The report advises integrating this approach into workforce planning early.
Access the country-by-country data you need to build an accurate business case for an Africa-based delivery footprint, and see how TP’s multilingual hubs and smartshoring models integrate these locations into your existing global operations.
