Thank you African Union for such a great initiative. Any Youth out there would be grateful to have such a life changing opportunity, however it seems am finding difficulty in the registration process specifically on the part of my Date of Birth and Date when my Passport expires since the fields signal red even when I use the correct order that is Date of Birth, Month and Year.. Is there a specific way we should write these dates…
Kind Regards.
