The bespoke application/software development and Project/Programme Management industry in Africa is characterised by its phenomenal growth, the skewed nature of skills within the industry and high attrition of skills out of Africa (approximately 100 people per month).

Africa is an emerging, sensitive economy destined to play an influential role in the world. Organisations are increasing their ICT spend in line with international norms (1.5% to 2.7% of revenue).
