With a growth of 10%, Mozambique is the African country that grew the most in percentage terms, although in terms of the number of African developers it is led by South Africa, with 119 developers.
The study collected data from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia and Mozambique, in what is the second in a series of studies on the state of the internet economy on our continent, which concludes, in a broader view, that it has the potential to reach 5,2% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025, contributing with almost 180 thousand millions of dollars to the African economy.

Our effort to increase connectivity is centered on infrastructure, devices, tools and product location”, explains Nitin Gajria, director of sub-Saharan Africa at Google.
