Outsourcing is to contract out an organisation’s operations to a third party. If Business Processes such as customer service (call centre) activities, financial accounting, ICT support, data entry, data management, administration and other organisational functions are outsourced, then it is termed Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). This sector is emerging as an important sector for foreign revenue generation and youth employment creation.
