Your Partner
for Digital Talent and Sustainable Employment in Africa
The Digital Skills Accelerator Africa e. V. (DSAA) aims to sustainably strengthen African economies by creating jobs in the digital sector and promoting their long-term growth. The DSAA was established as an agile financing vehicle and project management entity. Through our unique cooperation model, we directly work with private sector companies and significantly reduce the bureaucratic effort involved in co-funding projects. By qualifying our member companies and closely tracking and reporting on the funded programs, we reliably ensure safe and effective investments and demonstrable success. Through the targeted inclusion of marginalized groups such as women or people with disability, the DSAA leverages the full potential of the workforce in Africa.
Who we are
The Digital Skills Accelerator Africa e. V. (DSAA) is an independent non-profit association of ITO and BPO companies. With our member companies and funding partners, we jointly implement programs that create good jobs across the African continent’s ITO and BPO sectors. Through our cooperation model, we can reliably manage and implement projects with multiple funding partners. Since our establishment in 2019, we have successfully completed projects in Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Senegal and Ethiopia.

*Definition of a good job: The prerequisite is a minimum employment period of at least 20 hours per week over 26 weeks within a year, or any other combination that totals at least 520 hours within a year. In addition, an appropriate wage or at least the minimum wage, if legally stipulated, must be paid. The employment must comply with the ILO’s core labour standards: no child labour, no forced labour, non-discrimination, equal pay, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

We recognize that Africa has a huge potential to deliver excellent digital services for the international market.
