I've found Ghana to be the only country in West Africa where you can reliably outsource and get quality work back with no headaches. Maybe if I did business in French, Senegal would be reliable as well. But the rest of West Africa has a long way to go even getting reliable rule of law. (Which is weird, because you would think Nigeria would have its act together.)

But yes, Kenya is the star out in East Africa. Even among a lot of other scrappy nations in the EAC, Kenya stands out. No question.

For African outsourcing, I can't recommend Ghana and Kenya enough. Only problem right now is that, you kind of have to know someone to get access to the really good guys. Demand is high relative to the guys available with known track records.
