Don’t let a Data Mismatch deny young Ghanaians the chance to serve

Where there are data mismatches, the emphasis should be on helping eligible young people resolve the problem rather than allowing an administrative discrepancy to become a barrier to national service.

Indeed, if the objective of national service is to harness the knowledge, skills and energy of young Ghanaians for national development, then every effort should be made to ensure that eligible graduates are not unnecessarily lost from the system because of correctable administrative discrepancies.

Let the Data Be Fixed—Not the Dreams of Young People Be Put on Hold National service is not simply another bureaucratic process.
