Why we need to support local developers?


Have you ever thought of becoming a developer in Botswana. Well, it’s a rough patch to go through with underpayment or just working to find out at the end you are not being paid for the excellent job you developed. In addition, most big companies and the government gives out the big projects of web developments, software developments to foreigners. Does that mean we don’t have experts in Botswana? Or our developers do not know how to market themselves well? Hopefully we will get there.
In conjunction, African countries needs to support and promote the growth of ICT industry, with particular focus on software development from their own countries. When African countries continue to nurture and support developers more jobs and wealth will be created also prominently solutions directed to our own social economic problems. Similarly, when we look big companies like Toyota, Huawei Technologies, Apple and man more were simply created and supported within their countries and went all out to service global markets. These are the same companies creating more wealth to their countries today.
Meanwhile Africa should strengthen the innovation ecosystem in the continent as it is still not penetrated much and encourage talented software developers developing cutting edge software and application directly solution based to our country. Appropriately, helping such startups or developers to come up with viable companies to create employment and wealth. Doing these will help to empower more youth.  
In Botswana, the minister of Youth, Sport and Culture Honorable Thapelo Olopeng has recently embarked on a plan to produce at least five young entrepreneur millionaires during his tenure however one of making it easier to reach this objective is through promoting the growth of Botswana’s ICT industry, with particular focus on software development. Yes, it’s a tip to my minister Honorable Thapelo Olopeng and other stakeholders. Hopefully the youth with ideas will stand up to pursue their dreams and continue to being more sensitized about entrepreneurship.
