Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

[ ] Nationals of the 15 West African member countries, including Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire
[ ] Under 30 at the time of recruitment
[ ] A master's degree in finance, business administration, accounting, economics, marketing, audit or another field the Bank works in
[ ] Fluent in English, French or Portuguese with working knowledge of one of the other two

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] Cover or motivation letter (Short, written for this one: why this, what you have done that fits.)
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
[ ] Passport (If you do not have one, applying for one takes weeks. Check it has not expired.)
[ ] Identity document (A clear photo of both sides, if it has two.)
In their words: "Detailed CV, copies of qualifications, national ID or passport, birth certificate, and a motivation letter. Email to recrutbidc@bidc-ebid.org with the subject YOUNG PROFESSIONALS RECRUITMENT PROGRAMME 2026."

3. DATES
- Closes 30 October 2026, in 8 days.
- Aim to send it by 27 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

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
