Is Web Outsourcing in Africa the way to go?

I recently did a Google search for the word outsourcing and this produced millions of pages on the results page I was indeed overwhelmed by this information, Of course i quickly started going through the pages in search of relevant information and with a further refinement of my search i kept getting the same results. Numerous of companies in the West, Europe and the USA seeking for other business process outsourcing organisations to do some of the work such as banner creation, content addition, template designs etc and numerous countries in the East that is Asia and a the Far East responding or offering to do the same. Where is Africa in all this was my biggest question. It was in neither of the categories yet Africa could benefit from outsourcing in both ways companies in Africa could use thrid parties to do some of the work that does not require full time staff. And other African freelancers of companies could offer to do it at fee. Another concern was that majority of those who offer the jobs want to pay using credit cards of payment merchants such as PayPal and since most or all of these merchants are yet to extend their service to the African continent we are totally locked. When will we get there? Is the million dollar question.
