The Challenge & Opportunity
The global data annotation market is projected to reach $57.63 billion by 2030, creating a massive demand for skilled workers. Many of these tasks can be performed remotely, offering a transformative opportunity for inclusive employment—especially for Persons with Disabilities in Africa.
