Government resource allocation lacks transparency and accountability, leading to wasted public funds that could support youth employment

Government officials and finance ministers struggle to demonstrate that public investments are creating measurable economic opportunities for young people, particularly in developing economies like Ghana. Current budget tracking and resource allocation systems fail to provide transparent, real-time visibility into how funds are spent and what outcomes they generate, making it impossible to prove value-for-money to stakeholders and prevent wasteful spending that diverts resources from youth development programs.
