Question 3

1 answer

The NGO should prioritize presenting data and analysis specific to the South African job market. This approach ensures that the report is relevant and grounded in the current context of unemployment in South Africa, enabling government officials to understand the specific challenges and dynamics at play. While using technical terminology and including success stories can add value, the core of the report should focus on data-driven insights that can inform effective policy decisions. Political opinions, on the other hand, could distract from the objective analysis needed for such a report.
