The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in Ghana recruited 100,628 people for its programs as of September 30, 2026.
Malik Basintale, the YEA’s Chief Executive Officer, announced this progress at a government accountability event. The number represents 75.7% of the agency’s goal to enroll 133,000 people by the end of 2026. Basintale stated the YEA’s recruitment efforts have significantly increased opportunities for young Ghanaians.
He reported a rise of at least 566.67% in the number of people entering YEA programs since he took office. The agency aims to provide not only temporary jobs but also practical skills, work experience, and paths to financial stability for young people across Ghana. The YEA plans to keep refining its programs and fixing any issues it encounters as it works towards reaching its full recruitment target.
Basintale emphasized the agency’s focus is on equipping young people with skills to improve their lives, rather than simply increasing enrollment numbers.
