 I have had the opportunity this past week to travel a huge part of the country (explains why I was not updating the blog) and in the process have met a lot of youths in different settings. It is sad to say that everyone I met is facing a common challenge which is lack of employment and opportunities to find a living in this country. It is very troubling that only a few young persons out of school have jobs whilst the rest are miserably unemployed and with no prospect of getting a decent job.

Data has been crucial for development and we have achieved so much that we now know what's beyond our galaxy. But we have done that far too much for our own good. The mismanagement of data has resulted in global challenges such as environmental and biodiversity loss and climate change, conflicts in different parts of the world, inequalities and social issues.
