About this interview
This interview assesses your readiness to coordinate a Community Development Service project during NYSC. The panel looks for a genuine community need, a feasible plan, transparent use of resources and the ability to coordinate corps members and local stakeholders.
How to prepare
- Review the community need and gather simple evidence from consultation or observation.
- Break the project into activities, owners, materials, risks and realistic milestones.
- Prepare a transparent budget and a method for recording cash, materials and approvals.
- Think of ways to involve community representatives in decisions and long-term ownership.
- Check the official NYSC source for current CDS rules and approval procedures.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a visible project without evidence that the community values it.
- Promising a scope that the available people, time and resources cannot support.
- Collecting money or materials without clear records and agreed oversight.
- Treating consultation as a formality after decisions have already been made.
