Shares are of each country's own tracked active developers. Changes compare the same ecosystem in the same country.
| Country | Share of active developers | Developers | Share of the markets' contributors | Developers, change on previous quarter | Developers, change on a year earlier | Share, change on previous quarter | Active again from last quarter |

Changes, intensity and tenure are published for the latest eight quarters where a country has 20 or more developers in the ecosystem. Shares need at least 50 active developers in the country and 5 in the ecosystem; a cell under 5 developers is not published.
Developers in the ecosystem by contribution days in the quarter, and by time since their first contribution. Contribution days measure activity, not employment.
Egypt and Ghana, for context. A gap is a quarter with fewer than 50 active developers in the country or 5 in the ecosystem.
