Fostering the relevance of developer relations across Africa one developer at a time

The story


Five years ago when I was starting out my tech journey in Nigeria, there was no structured way of learning how to code or design. The online courses and coding bootcamps available were so expensive for most of us so we had to teach each other, share free resources with each other and debug together. This was my first experience with a “community”, we learnt from each other and helped each other grow. Today a lot of us that were part of the community over the years have gone so far in our careers and we wouldn't have been able to achieve so much without the community. This is the importance of having a community of like-minded people supporting you and also helping you grow.

The Mission
Developer Relations is a significant field in the tech industry. Despite the high demand for developer relations professionals during this time, there has been little adoption and demand for this field in Africa, with only a small number of professionals from the continent. DevRel Community Africa is a non-profit community that aims to bring together developer relations experts and enthusiasts from all parts of Africa to share knowledge, support each other's growth and promote the field of developer relations in the region.

Educate more developers and technical writers in Africa about the significance of developer advocacy and how to pursue a career in this field.

Organise free workshops and meet-ups to teach important concepts in Developer Relations and Advocacy with guest speakers from top companies around the world.

Share DevRel job postings, review CVs and help the community members get ready for interviews.

Collaborate with other existing DevRel communities around the world to share knowledge.

Encourage African companies to implement a Developer Relations strategy.

Get price discounts on DevRel conferences and courses for community members.
