It asks for something outside the usual documents; read it below.
In their words: "An entry describing your civic project idea"

3. DATES
- Closes 31 January 2027, in 101 days.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
