As a tech company based in Africa, Tunga is no stranger to challenges and obstacles. But we are also no strangers to triumph and success, as evidenced by our recent win at the NABC’s annual Ambassadors’ Dinner in November 2022.

After being nominated and going through a rigorous voting process, Tunga was announced as the winner of the prestigious ‘Doing Business in Africa’ (DBA) award. This is a huge accomplishment for us, one that we are incredibly proud of. But what does this win mean for Tunga and the impact of the work we do?

Our Mission at Tunga…

First and foremost, it is a validation of our mission and the value we provide to businesses. As a tech company in Africa that connects businesses with skilled software developers from Africa, we strive to offer a solution to the global shortage of developers and create well-paid and meaningful work for African youths.

Developers across the continent with companies looking for top talent to help them build products of the future. One such developer is Mark, a software developer at Tunga. Born and raised in Uganda got to kickstart his tech career at a young age, teaching himself how to code and experiment with different technologies.

Thanks to Tunga, Mark currently works remotely on exciting projects for an international tech company. Mark is one example of the many talented African developers leading the digital revolution on the continent through their work with Tunga. With their passion and expertise, they are helping to build a brighter future for Africa and the world.

And as more and more companies look to Africa for top talent, it’s clear that the continent is playing an increasingly important role in the global technology industry.

Working with Africa’s Tech Talents…

Our work is beneficial not only for companies in need of top talent but also for the young people of Africa who may have limited access to well-paid and exciting job opportunities. As the digital revolution continues to sweep across the globe, we are seeing a growing demand for skilled developers who can help build the products of the future.

We work with businesses to identify their specific needs and match them with developers who have the skills and expertise to deliver top-quality solutions.

Our Challenges So Far…

One challenge that Tunga and many other companies in the tech industry face is the growing competition for top talent. As the demand for skilled developers continues to increase, more and more companies are vying for the attention of the best and brightest in the field.

To tackle this challenge, Tunga is focusing on building a strong employer brand and providing a positive work environment for our developers. We can attract and retain top talent by offering competitive salaries, opportunities for growth and advancement, and a supportive and collaborative culture.

In addition, we are also investing in training and development programs to help our developers stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and practices in the industry. By providing our developers with the support they need to grow and succeed, we can maintain our position as a top destination for top African coders.
