#130 BPO in AFRICA. vol. 7

In 130 episode of Good Morning BSS World, I reconnect with Rod Jones, patron and co-founder of the Africa Federation of GBS Associations, to explore the latest developments in Africa’s rapidly expanding Global Business Services (GBS) landscape. Broadcasting from Johannesburg, Rod provides a regional update across Southern, Northern, Western, Eastern, and Central Africa. From the YES youth employment program in South Africa and government-backed strategic roadmaps in Ghana and Rwanda, to massive foreign investments flowing into Egypt, this episode paints a vivid picture of a continent on the rise in the BPO/GBS space. Highlights include:

• Egypt’s booming CX sector with Concentrix, IGT Solutions, and VXI targeting nearly 50,000 new jobs by 2028.
• Cameroon’s surprising BPO potential, including a multilingual workforce and 400,000 German speakers!
• Ghana’s 5-year GBS development plan with full governmental endorsement.
• Ethiopia and Rwanda’s structured approaches to national GBS strategy and incubation.
• The formation of new country-level associations and a forthcoming advisory board of global GBS leaders.

Rod also touches on international interest in Johannesburg as a future BPO hub and plans for the Africa Federation’s high-level gathering in Addis Abeba this September. Tune in to discover why Africa is becoming a powerhouse for global outsourcing and how collaboration, innovation, and investment are transforming its GBS landscape.
