Outsourcing: Kenya seeks to cash in on outsourcing boom

Kenya is set to become the new player in the outsourcing industry. Information and Technology Permanent Secretary Bitange Ndemo, has announced a strategy to set up outsourcing incubators at local universities that are hoped to create up to 30,000 jobs.

In a recent statement he said the Government hopes to engage some 10,000 students in an incubator venture modelled on a successful one by universities in north west Britain, called CallNorthWest and hosted by University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
